Got it, so the terminal and your developer Crouton VM is sandboxed within
the main OS?
I meant to fsck with a regular Linux installation, not with ChromeOS, in
order to rule out any logical FS error.

It still mounts currently on my Chromebook, I'd be disappointed if they
dropped ext4 support in the future, we'll have to see what they do.
Crouton shows the /home/user directory has 0754 permission... I can see the
files listed in Chrome file manager, but not in Crouton. My Crouton user is

Wow, I didn't even know ext4 could be not supported on Chrome OS.
There was a community push-back:

Thanks for all the replies! If I was home, this would have been a few
minutes to check/verify. However I'm out of town, and have a Microsoft
Surface Windows machine from work, and a Chromebook (and today I was
babysitting my 1 yo toddler granddaughter so progress has been
excruciatingly slow). I'm
Hi Paul,
I hate to even ask because they are the bane of my existence, but have
you checked ACLs just in case they are denying access somehow? Especially
at a directory level? (Lord, but I hate those sneaky little buggers...)

Have you tried to check file system integrity with a regular Linux.
Normally it'd signal if something smells fishy with it right after mount
(for example mounting read only) but you never know.
Especially if it's removable, even though ext4 supposed to be resilient and
it's a journaling file system

I would attempt seeing if you can mount the drive from another workstation
that isn't a Chromebook
Once you know that you can mount the disk
Then you should be able to use the Chromebook Linux Partition Terminal
software to access the drive however you typically have to use the
Chromebook
So... I've got an external drive I used to copy files from my Linux
computer. The partition is ext4.
Some directories I can access on the Chromebook, but others I can't.
I tried changing all the directory permissions to 0777 and all the file
permissions to 0666 on the problematic directories/file
