Root can't grant privilages - beak - 02-21-2019

Hi
I've been using Linux Light for a short time. I have a linux partition that I would like to make accessible to everyone. But some how I can't. Have a look:

Code:
root@jay-VirtualBox:/mnt# ls -lh

total 4,0K

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K sty  1  1970 B43D-88E0

root@jay-VirtualBox:/mnt# chmod a=rwx B43D-88E0/

root@jay-VirtualBox:/mnt# ls -lh

total 4,0K

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K sty  1  1970 B43D-88E0

as you can see after trying to grant all privileges to everyone they remain the same. The last line still shows that group and others do not have write permission. What is the issue here?

thx

Code:
root@jay-VirtualBox:/mnt# chmod a=rwx B43D-88E0/

The command is :

Code:
chmod a+rwx

not "a=rwx" as you have it

It doesn't matter, "=" replaces, "+" adds privileges.

PS
By the way, what do you guys do when you want to freely access your partitions? Every time I click on the partition it asks me for admin password. In /mnt the partition is mounted as B43D-88E0/
