Directly connected SSD - no write permissions

Hi everyone,

On my Raspberry Pi with Volumio v2.565, I have a directly connected SSD that has music and movies and so forth.

When I SSH into my Pi, I can navigate to the drive, however I cannot write to it. I’m hoping to use this SSD to be a place I can copy my media files to, and have Kodi and Volumio access them.

Here’s my device:

Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda2 411648 1953523711 1953112064 931.3G Microsoft basic data

/dev/sda2 is already mounted on /media/Peter

drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Apr 5 02:53 media

volumio@volumio:/media$ ls -l
total 129
drwxrwxrwx 4 volumio volumio 512 Jan 1 1970 EFI
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 131072 Jan 1 1970 Peter

So it looks to me as I have enabled all permissions (chmod 777). I’ve read a bit about having to editing /etc/fstab, mounting it and needing to know uid and gid values, but unfortunately none of this makes sense to me. Can anyone guide me through what’s required?

Thank you,

Astro.
