guys, I have a partition on my main drive that I use for storage of docs, which I created under root, and I mount under /media/storage but now I'm trying to give another user rwx permision with
Code:
sudo chmod -R o+rwx /media/storage
but when I do
Code:
ls -l /media/storage
is still reflecting the old permission is like I'm not actually modifying anything and I'm not getting any errors

You can use ACLs to give finer controls to permissions. See the man pages for setfacl and getfacl.
You would need to give the user rx permissions on the directory for that user to be able to access a file inside.
