jenkins_home path to media ubuntu permission issue

My jenkins is giving me error when I am changing the default JENKINS_HOME to my location in ubuntu.

Unable to create the home directory ‘/media/mysystem/Data/Jenkins’. This is most likely a permission problem.

I had edited this file "Jenkins" inside /etc/default folder and changed the jenkins home but when I start the jenkins I am getting the above error message.

I also tried giving full permission to my media using -

cd /media/mysystem/Data/
sudo chmod -R -v 777 *

but no luck

Here mysystem is my username and Data is the media name

Change the jenkins user's home directory by modifying configure file.

vim /etc/init.d/jenkins

Change $JENKINS_HOME variable.And then create the folder and use chown command to change file owner.

mkdir -p /media/mysystem/Data/Jenkins

cd /media/mysystem/Data/Jenkins
cp -Rf /var/lib/jenkins .
chown -R jenkins:jenkins *

service jenkins start (/etc/init.d/jenkins start)

Usually,you can just change the $JENKINS_HOME and restart.

Hope this helps.
