lrwxrwxrwx 1 felix felix    7 Apr 10  2024 d -> /mnt/d/

felix@FELIX-AMD:~$ cd h
-bash: cd: h: Permission denied
felix@FELIX-AMD:~$ cd /mnt/h
-bash: cd: /mnt/h: Permission denied
felix@FELIX-AMD:~$

Expected Behavior

I should be cd to my dev drive (H), just like can cd to my HDD (D)

felix@FELIX-AMD:~$ cd /mnt
felix@FELIX-AMD:/mnt$ ls -l

felix@FELIX-AMD:/mnt/d$ ls

felix@FELIX-AMD:/mnt/d$ cd ..
felix@FELIX-AMD:/mnt$

Actual Behavior

I can not cd to my dev drive (H). If you noticed in the Expected behavior section the permissions for rwx are missing for h

felix@FELIX-AMD:/mnt$ cd h
-bash: cd: h: Permission denied
felix@FELIX-AMD:/mnt$

I tried changing the permission and it did not work

felix@FELIX-AMD:/mnt$ sudo chmod 777 h
[sudo] password for felix:
felix@FELIX-AMD:/mnt$ ls -l
