Created a new partition from space that I had from the Home partition.  I plan to use this for Timeshift and other backup.  For some unknown reason the partition says it is owned by Root and I cannot open it or change permissions.  What do I need to do so I can access this?  It now has no files in it.

It looks like Timeshift tried to write a snapshot to the new partition.  Unfortunately it ran out of space on a 10 GB drive.  It has no trouble doing snapshots on either the / or the Home partition which combined are about 72 GB in size, so a few 10 GB snapshots would quickly eat up the space I have for LLOS 4.8.

So what is to happen here? If you need help creating partitions with the right permissions set, those guides are all in the Help Manual.
