UFS (data) partition is auto mounting but becoming root owned after every reboot

I have a separate spinning disk which I use to store data only. I used chown command to gain write permission as normal user (not root) but after every reboot the permissions are getting changed. The owner is back to root. I can't write anything.
How to I make the permissions to persist ?

I added the partition of /etc/fstab & now its a weird situation. Please see attachment.
Code: Select all
> cat /etc/fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass
procfs /proc procfs rw 00
linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 00
tmpfs /compat/linux/dev/shm tmpfs rw,mode=1777 0 0
linsysfs /compat/linux/sys linsysfs rw 0 0
fdesc /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0
/dev/ada0p1 /home/bsd/spinning ufs rw 0 2

having fstab to mount partition that automounts take are of not a good idea.

Never done that before. How do I do that ? By downloading the new ISO and reinstalling ?

The safest way to do it is reinstalled since it is a complex upgrade, but some have done the upgrade with this

Next major upgrade (13 to 14), I will have it working with the update manager.

One last question. For how long is 20.12.25 supported (The year & month) ? Or am I running a already unsupported version ?

You said :
GhostBSD is base on FreeBSD, but we don't have the same release model. GhostBSD has CI/CD approach, so the project has a rolling release approach.
So if its rolling then why the need to upgrade ?
