what did I get wrong?
drifting solstice
so i can make the directoryies inside my ntfs via using sudo
but im not sure if that transfers ownership to sudo only of everything
i use dolphin to move and use shit
so if i want to edit stuff inside this path
mnt / 4tb / Movies
for example
i just do sudo chown -R $USER /mnt/4tb/Movies
ohh right
so i shouldnt have to use sudo to make folders normally right
and t his wont fuck it up in windows
when i log back into windows
and use the drive
it wont be like "owned by linux user" or some shit?
great ill try it now
mine auto mounts in fstab
is that what u mean?
no
its just its own ntfs3 drive that gets mounted
fuck, i cant delete the folder coz i made it with sudo b4
[peter@archlinux Movies and Drama]$ sudo -Rm Movies/
sudo: you are not permitted to use the -R option with Movies/
oh okay.
illdo that now
but whats this thing about mounting it to home?
isnt mounting it in /mnt correct / enoujgh?
damn
[peter@archlinux Movies and Drama]$ sudo chown -R $USER /mnt/16tb/Japanese/Movies and Drama/
chown: cannot access '/mnt/16tb/Japanese/Movies': No such file or directory
├─sdb1 8:17 0 16M 0 part
└─sdb2 8:18 0 14.6T 0 part /mnt/16tb
```yeah its there
oh , did i need those ' tags
ah
i thought the space maybe
could ahve caused the issue
thanks i didnt know that ' solved space issues
ok i chwon it now i think
but i cant remove it still
the folder i made with sudo mkdir
wait, i cant even create new
with dolphin
wtf
yeah
i ran
sudo chown -R $USER '/mnt/16tb/Japanese/Movies and Drama/'
Movies and Drama]$ mkdir '/mnt/16tb/Japanese/Movies and Drama/test'
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/mnt/16tb/Japanese/Movies and Drama/test’: Permission denied
fek
yea
no erroras nothing
i only ran it on small movie directory
[peter@archlinux Movies and Drama]$ sudo chown -R $USER '/mnt/16tb/Japanese/Movies and Drama/'

o.0
i can make it with terminal
without sudo

so what mode is USER
as opposed to mode 777
oh 777 adds more
idk man xd

how do i give write and edit access to my NTFS mounted windows drive? [solved]
little bay
my fault
vernal nebula
turbid umbra
Isn't the problem because of windows hibernate
You don't gotta do none of this shit I'm pretty sure
vernal nebula
Isn't the problem because of windows hibernate
Without ntfs-3g it wont work. But its this too.
idle estuaryBOT
vernal nebula
Just shutdown your windows by pressing shutdown holding shift
turbid umbra
Or just disable in registry or power options
vernal nebula
Or just disable in registry or power options
Disable what?
turbid umbra
Windows "fast boot"
vernal nebula
You don't need ntfs-3g
I need it, otherwise it wont work. 6.0 kernel
turbid umbra
Aka cheating
turbid umbra
I need it, otherwise it wont work. 6.0 kernel
You do not I can assure you
vernal nebula
Windows "fast boot"
Disabled, still happens
turbid umbra
I can mount my windows drive fine using ntfs3 and not ntfs-3g
turbid umbra
Disabled, still happens
Then you got something else going on
vernal nebula
You do not I can assure you
Ill check later
vernal nebula
I can mount my windows drive fine using ntfs3 and not ntfs-3g
If you formated the drive via linux ntfs it will work.
But to use windows made one you need 3g
turbid umbra
Nope works fine on my windows drive too
vernal nebula
Ill check later i guess
turbid umbra
Kk
turbid umbra
Yea
vernal nebula
If so, it didnt work for me.
turbid umbra
it won't mount just like that you need to add a rule which allows it to mount NTFS drives without specifying
vernal nebula
it won't mount just like that you need to add a rule which allows it to mount NT...
Gnome disk utility actually mounts it automatically
And it did. Just failed to write iirc
Anyway, i see this having issues with udisks so im better off ntfs 3g anyway
Since it works
vernal nebula
Works for me with udisk2 also
Do you use ACL on every drive?
turbid umbra
What's ACL
vernal nebula
I guess not
vernal nebula
Windows like access control iirc.
I needed it for my SMB server
On one drive
The rest work ootb
turbid umbra
Yeah I don't need that
vernal nebula
And if i dont shutdown my windows properly it will not be able to write on any drive
My bet - cache writing enabled in windows for all drivers
drifting solstice
Isn't the problem because of windows hibernate
wait what?
chmod 777 fixed it forme
windows isnt booted, only linux
?
vernal nebula
windows isnt booted, only linux
its a problem when windows doesnt shut down properly
i dont know the science behind it, but its a fact.
if you want to be 100% sure, hold shift while you press shutdown in menu. then you can boot linux and it shouldnt have a problem.
if you are desperate for it to work 100% of the time go to device manager select disk propeties and propably it has to do with these settings:

if you are desperate for it to work 100% of the time go to device manager select...
those are default ones btw*
drifting solstice
sounds wack as fuck
so if i hold shift and shutdown windows
thenboot linux
it should proper turn the drives offf windows like weird interferecne thing
vernal nebula
sounds wack as fuck
yes, it kinda makes sense tho, i think?
