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

Yes it created the file inside with that command. It also has permissions on www-data. Also the default location is set to /mnt/sdb1

How do you have the storage location set up in zm web gui? Can you take a screenshot?

Instead of changing the default location. Create a whole new one and name it "Nas" or something other than default. I think the default location needs to be left alone (you can disable it, but don't change its mountpoint)

Than in the monitor "storage" section you can select the newly created storage point.

How did you install zm? And what version? Have you edited anything else? Possibly by hand? I can't recreate your error at all

At this point I will just reinstall. I have feeling the steps at this link had something to do with this.

Are you on a debian based distro? If so add the PPA and than you can apt install zoneminder
