Obviously, I can't do anything with the great majority of the folders

Catch-22.

"Sees nothing?"

Ascertain where those volume are mounted, first:

% df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
LABEL=Root10 35895684 15595092 20300592 44% /
tmpfs 1036540 0 1036540 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 293008588 91058060 201950528 32% /repo
/dev/sdb1 20962560 11337580 9624980 55% /root93
/dev/sdd1 11962304 6421116 5541188 54% /root91
/dev/sdd2 11961344 6690496 5270848 56% /home
/dev/sdd3 11961344 1242680 10718664 11% /dar

(I chose "df" instead of the more obvious "mount" simply because the
output is easier to read, in my opinion.)

Presumably you'll recognize which of the file system shown there are the
two you're concerned with. You can then cd there, chmod or chown (-R)
to your hearts content (after becoming root, of course).


I would be grateful for some insight into this, so I can access the
files. Again, I had nothing of the sort in v10.2.
