Probably mistaken, but if it's a windows partition, you can't change
the permissions.
Otherwise: chown -RV gean: /home/gean should work?
If it's a Linux NTFS, then maybe that file system doesn't allow any
permission changes? I've never used NTFS other than on a windows
system preferring ext3 for Debian.
Sorry, can't assist any more than that.
