Apparently whatever cinnamon did to get nvme0n1p5 mounted to /media/chris/DATA
is blocking the suggested workaround. I suggest to use cinnamon partition tool
to undo whatever it did, and create a fstab entry that mounts it, e.g.:
sudo mkdir /home/data
sudo chmod 770 /home/data
sudo chown chris:chris /home/data
(next: append to fstab:)
LABEL=DATA /home/data ext4 relatime 0 2
(next: reboot)
mount | grep nvme0n1p5
(should confirm DATA partition is mounted rw to /home/data)
ls -ld /home/data
(should produce drwxrwx--- chris chris permissions & ownership, plus access via
file manager to /home/data whether logged into cinnamon or tde, if in /etc/group
exists chris:x:1000:chrisontde)
