NTFS mounted drive, cannot write to
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Greetings!
I have an NTFS drive mounted here: "file:///run/media/user_name/DATA", have tried everything, but cannot write or edit files, or folders in this drive.
I use this drive as my main backup, it just stopped letting me have read write access, I haven't changed anything myself, except for installing updates...

(I apologize if this is not submitted into the proper location for help).

Thanks!

Perhaps you could try sudo eopkg it --reinstall ntfs-3g

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't seem to work.

I appreciate the idea though.

So, I decided to remove one of the disks and put it in an external enclosure, then format the drive.
I formatted it to EXT4, this worked fine, and I can now manually mount it, and if I "open as root" in nautilus I can then write to this drive.
What can I do to have this drive auto mount, with read write permissions?

@polinco77 quick look at this guide looks pretty legit: https://oguya.ch/posts/2015-09-01-systemd-mount-partition/

That way you don't have to worry about /etc/fstab getting overwritten by systemd.

Thanks for the help everyone, but I solved this issue by just switching back to Windows.
