I have an external SSD which was automatically mounted to /media/user/longstring. The first thing I did reformat it to ext4. After a reboot, longstring hasn’t changed but everything I put on the SSD is gone and I can’t cd into it or ls without sudo.

I ended up solving the problem by remounting it from /media/ to /mnt/
I still have no idea what caused the problem originally though.
maybe some overlay got mounted on top.
