Edit - Solution:
- ntfsfix -d (on the drives that were stuck as read-only)
- sudo Nautilus (to give proper permissions to all files and folders on the NTFS drives)
Thanks to everyone to helped!
Hi folks,
Just installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS onto a second system (on its own SSD), which has four NTFS HDDs used for data only (no OS installed to them).
I placed entries into fstab for them, and they mount fine but are read only. Example fstab entry:
UUID=362899152898D4E9 /media/sammie/desk_t ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
Also tried adding uid and gid-1000, but to no avail.
Other details:
- Fast boot was off in windows and in BIOS.
- Hibernate was off, so windows did full and proper shutdowns.
- mount returns the following:
/dev/sdc5 on /media/sammie/games type fuseblk (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
/dev/sdd5 on /media/sammie/movies type fuseblk (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
/dev/sdb1 on /media/sammie/desk_t type fuseblk (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
/dev/sdb2 on /media/sammie/iso_images type fuseblk (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
Incidentally, I have another system which is pretty much identical (installed Ubuntu, it had several NTFS drives, and they work perfectly, i.e., read and write access).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
