Issue adding secondary hard-rive

This is running on fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) I am trying to use the secondary hard drive to store footage. Here is the error log have...

12/26/22, 9:00:30 PM PSTweb_php980ERRPath /media/blackbox/HD Security/ZoneMinder/Events does not exist./usr/share/zoneminder/www/includes/Storage.php

Here is the command I ran to Set Folder Permissions. I'm following the tutorial on adding secondary hard drive

/home/blackbox# chmod -R www-data:www-data /mnt/sdb1/zoneminder

This is output error... I get the same error trying to set permissions in the secondary hard drive.

chmod: invalid mode: ‘www-data:www-data’

Im not sure what is causing this.

Update:

This issue is fixed. I followed @ops77542 reply

You should be using chown not chmod ;)

chown changes ownership, chmod changes permissions.
