Changed permissions to root on external USB drive partition, now I cannot access it

I screwed up.

 

Last night, I was trying to set up my new five-bay external drive enclosure, set to RAID0 to present one drive (edit for clarification: the drives in this enclosure handle the offline "backup" for my array, not the array itself) and I couldn't get it seen by Duplicacy properly (I set the target to the new enclosure's data partition, but when I tried to save stuff to it, it failed). In Unraid's File Manager, I changed the permissions from nobody to root and now I can't access that partition and Unraid won't let me eject the enclosure.

 

This is what Unraid shows on the Main page:

But, when I click on the partition name to browse it, it shows this:

I've listed the drives/partitions and tried to reset the permissions with chown and newperms in the console, but no dice:

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Boy, I feel like an idiot... the one thing I didn't try, which is to delete the enclosure's entry in Historical Devices when the enclosure was off and disconnected, then connect it back up, worked just fine when I did it just now. After that, I was able to reformat the enclosure's "drive" and can access it just fine.
