My hard drive is partitioned / , home - and a partition for 'storage'.
The storage area is only available to 'root' , how can I change it so I have access as 'john' ?
Show me your /etc/fstab file.
as root
chown -R john /storage
or
sudo chown -R john /storage
but yes, show /etc/fstab Is your /storage set up that way to be accessed by a BSD or Windows OS? Is /storage for backups?.

Don't know whether it is relevant but My folder is named fstab.d and the file - aufs / aufs rw 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0
which of course means nothing to Me. :D :D

I like to test all the versions of Sparky but I did it once and the system was unusable I had to use My backup (an external HD)
so when prior to re-installation I partitioned My hard drive root/home/ ? (I have just noticed that when I mount it the label is it is media 263dd24a-60fc-4f3c-a4e5-0d536371b20b)
Show me the file called 'fstab' - it is located in '/etc' directory under all folders. /etc/fstab.d is a folder.
Show me results of two commands as root:
blkid
fdisk -l
Problem solved- Did not think to look at folder permissions :o
Created a new folder and transferred contents :D
