I don't know who you ran that command as.... I'm "assuming" you ran it a
user as you don't post sudo.
Is that the UUID of your removable USB drive?
Is that the same directory you gave to boztu earlier. eg.:-
$ sudo chown -R boztu:boztu /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459/
??
If you that ^ is what you did - please post the output of:-
$ ls -alL /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459/
(if it's more than just a dozen lines, and they're all consistent please
trim).
NOTE: the "$" means run as non-root, I shall put "$ sudo" or "#" to
indicate "run as root".
How do you mount your removable USB drive - /etc/fstab? SOLID? or some
other mechanism?
Cheers
