[Solved] I am dual booting windows 11 and arch linux.. I can read into ntfs partition but can't w

[white iris]

How to write in ntfs partition from arch linux.. ???

[sonic grail]

mount it rw?

(with mount -o rw)

[cunning oyster]

Linux doesnt use NTFS lmao

you gotta make ext4 for /

and FAT32 for /boot

[sonic grail]

cough what are you trying to do

I think they just want to mount a ntfs partition R/W

[cunning oyster]

NewerTechnologyFileSystem

okay

[white iris]

I have windows 11 on that partition

[cunning oyster]

Yea and?

[sonic grail]

mhm

you just mount it r/w

[white iris]

and I want to read write on that

[sonic grail]

instead of r/o

[white iris]

How??

[sonic grail]

with mount -o rw -t ntfs $partition

uh yeah specify the mountpoint as well

[Reply to:](#1236272382914592899 message) with mount -o rw -t ntfs $partition

[white iris]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goOXJ56A2BU what about this video??

[sonic grail]

hmmm

mount -o rw -t ntfs /dev/partition /path/to/mount/point

This is the command

[echo plinth]

did u install ntfs fuse driver?

[echo plinth]

it is mounted rw by default

[white iris]

No

@echo plinth what to do??

[echo plinth]

ok

whats the ntfs partition

[white iris]

mount where??

[echo plinth]

and where to mount it

[white iris]

/dev/nvme0n1p3

[white iris]

idk where to mount..

I'm new to these things...

[echo plinth]

ok ill explain

[white iris]

thanks dude...

[echo plinth]

the mountpoint is the directory where linux mounts the filesystem

when linux mounts a filesystem it dumps the content into that dir

commonly /mnt is used

cause thats its purpose

and its empty

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

so for example

[white iris]

I'll go with ur preference..

[echo plinth]

sudo mount -v -t ntfs3 -o rw /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt

tell me its output

ill explain it

[white iris]

Ok a sec pls

[echo plinth]

alright

[echo plinth]

mount is the command used to mount the filesystem

[echo plinth]

type sudo dmesg

see the last lines for more info of the error

[echo plinth]

ok so the problem here as u can see in the kernel logs (dmesg) is that ur volume is dirty

[white iris]

Oh.. what to do?

[echo plinth]

do u have a windows system near?

[white iris]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goOXJ56A2BU
before following this tutorial .. i was able to mount it in file manager and read content
but after doing the tutorial.. i can't mount and can't even read

[echo plinth]

no worry about it

[white iris]

I need to restart to go in windows 11

[echo plinth]

go to it

[white iris]

Ok then

@echo plinth

[echo plinth]

ill explain

ur ntfs partition is dirty

so u have to repair it using file system repair utilities

[white iris]

Okay..

[echo plinth]

in linux is the command fsck (file system check) and its variants

but since ntfs is windows native, the windows native chkdsk (checkdisk) command is prefered

[white iris]

I'm in windows 11 now..

[echo plinth]

open a cmd

[white iris]

What Tod o

Ok

Now?

[echo plinth]

wait a sec

ill search for the exact command

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

now type diskpart

[white iris]

Ok

now?

[echo plinth]

list volumes

[white iris]

yes

[echo plinth]

send output pls

[echo plinth]

sorry volume not volumes

[white iris]

list volume..

[echo plinth]

xd

yep

[white iris]

yess

[echo plinth]

whats ur partition

from that ones

[white iris]

C

is windows partition

[echo plinth]

ok

so now exit diskpart

[sonic grail]

Yes

[white iris]

which i want to access

ok

[echo plinth]

yes thats right

not lets chkdsk that with the following command

[white iris]

exit ☑️

[echo plinth]

chkdsk C: /f /r

[sonic grail]

Uh won't it last like a decade

itsgerliz@iusearchbtw:~$ ↩️

[Reply to:](#1236272382914592899 message) not lets chkdsk that with the following command

[echo plinth]

what?

[sonic grail]

Okay sorry

[echo plinth]

bro whos this guy xd @white iris

[white iris]

idk 🤣 .. random

[sonic grail]

I'm a girl?

itsgerliz@iusearchbtw:~$ ↩️

[Reply to:](#1236272382914592899 message) bro whos this guy xd @white iris

[echo plinth]

ok chkdsk cant proceed because ur disk is in use caused u booted into ur windows system

[sonic grail]

Yeah do not check the disk while Windows is mounting it

❱❭ Hemant ❭❱ ↩️

[(click to see attachment)](#1236272382914592899 message)

[echo plinth]

u have to do exactly this processs inside a win install media

[sonic grail]

ntfsck or something you can do that on Linux as well

[echo plinth]

bro the fsck ntfs in linux isnt as good as windows one

thats why im telling him to use windows one

[sonic grail]

ik

but well

[echo plinth]

no worry

[sonic grail]

reboot?

[echo plinth]

download the latest win install media

[echo plinth]

no

then flash it to a usb

[white iris]

ig it will happen automatically on reboot

[echo plinth]

nope cause on reboot ur disk will be in use again

[sonic grail]

anyway sorry

[echo plinth]

so it will be a loop

[white iris]

Oh.. maybe No.. I did maybe a year back something like this..

[echo plinth]

ok try then

u could be right

[white iris]

Ok wait a min

[echo plinth]

just telling u to use the iso cause is the safest approach

but a reboot wont fuck ur disk so try it 😉

[white iris]

It's working...

[sonic grail]

didn't I say it'll take a decade

[echo plinth]

perfect now wait for windows to fix

[white iris]

Yep

[echo plinth]

better than being unable to mount it dont u think?

[white iris]

No, 4 mins it's saying now

[echo plinth]

now when its fixed reboot into linux

then

[echo plinth]

sudo mount -v -t ntfs3 -o rw /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

-v is to verbose, more info

-t ntfs3 is to tell the kernel the filesystem

[white iris]

Ooh

[echo plinth]

in this case ntfs3 is to use the ntfs driver in the linux kernel

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

-o rw is to tell rw as mount options

it is not necessary cause it is mounted rw by default but use it for now

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

then /dev/... is the partition

and /mnt is the mountpoint

thats the syntax

[white iris]

Okay dude

[echo plinth]

just to explain xd

[white iris]

🙂

[echo plinth]

like some people on this support threads just tell people what to do without them understanding anything about what they are doing

[white iris]

Yess

Done

Can't create new...

@echo plinth

[echo plinth]

ok maybe it was mounted as ro

since u can read but not write

go to the terminal

[white iris]

Yess

[echo plinth]

ah ok so its mounted rw

just the problem is that mnt is root owned

use sudo for the operations, change to the root user or change the /mnt dir owner

[white iris]

This is in vs code.. I'm opening folder of windows here

[white iris]

How??

[echo plinth]

first forget about dolphin for now

go to the terminal

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

then exec ls -l /

u should see that /mnt is owned by root user

[echo plinth]

nope it is owned by u

sudo dmesg pls

to seek for any error in the mounting

[white iris]

yes

[echo plinth]

yes i saw it

[echo plinth]

ok so it was mounted nice

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

go to any dir in the ntfs partition

and try to create a regular file

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

then if it works just delete it

[white iris]

Can't create

[echo plinth]

try it from the terminal

touch example

[white iris]

create new is not working

how from terminal??

[echo plinth]

go to that path in the terminal with cd

and use

touch example.txt

to create a empty file

see if it works

[white iris]

too many arguments

creating on desktop

but perm denied

[echo plinth]

cause dirs with spaces in its name are handled with ' '

[echo plinth]

then u will have to use sude or use the root user

[white iris]

sudo worked..

[echo plinth]

now remove it if u want

[white iris]

np...

but how to write normally

I want to use the folder in visual studio code for programming purpose

[echo plinth]

ok i think this is caused by ntfs nature

[white iris]

Oh

[echo plinth]

ntfs does not use POSIX access control and permissions

so linux asks u for root to write

[white iris]

oh

😢

[echo plinth]

i supose u are mounting ur win local disk to code in linux then save the files there right?

[white iris]

yes

[echo plinth]

so for this u could use something like a exfat or fat filesystem

supported by linux and windows

[white iris]

Oh

so do I need to create a new partition??

[echo plinth]

im gonna search for a fix for the permissions issue but idk if it will be possible

let me search if there is a fix for the ntfs permissions issue

[white iris]

I have space available for new partition...

[white iris]

Ok

[white iris]

if there can be shared partition for both.. without issue then I can make one partition ...

[cunning oyster]

try mounting with user flag, i dont remember how i did it earlier

i was helping one guy with mounting ntfs partition

[echo plinth]

i would not recommend this

ok u have the following options

first of all -> create a shared partition for linux and windows (fat or exfat)

[white iris]

Ok

How? tell me steps too 😅

[echo plinth]

second -> avoid using the native ntfs driver in the linux kernel and use the FUSE one

i would suggest to use the FUSE one

[cunning oyster]

yes, FUSE driver is better

[white iris]

what is it and how to use it??

[echo plinth]

there are two ways to mount ntfs in linux, using the ntfs3 driver in linux kernel

or the ntfs-3g fuse driver

[white iris]

Oh

how to use ntfs-3g...

[echo plinth]

the fuse one mounts the filesystem INSIDE the user space

[white iris]

Oh

[echo plinth]

not calling the kernel directly

[white iris]

Oh

[echo plinth]

are u on arch linux

?

[white iris]

Yes

[echo plinth]

sudo pacman -S ntfs-3g

[white iris]

It takes only 5 sec to switch 😁 ..

[echo plinth]

then use the same command to mount the partition, but replace -t ntfs3 with -t ntfs-3g

to use the fuse driver

with this u should be able to write

[white iris]

done

[echo plinth]

without root access

i avoided from the start to use the fuse driver to not bloat ur system with additional drivers but at this point is the best optipn

[white iris]

@echo plinth

[echo plinth]

ok but umount it first

sudo umount -v /mnt

this is used to unmount the filesystem mounted on /mnt

[white iris]

target is busy

error

[echo plinth]

type cd

then exec

[white iris]

?

[echo plinth]

to leave the ntfs path in ur terminal

just cd

to go to ur home

then umount it

[white iris]

ok

done

[echo plinth]

now mount it as a said with -t ntfs-3g

sudo mount -v -t ntfs-3g /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt

u can remove -o if wanted

it is redundant

[white iris]

it is saying to boot into windows twice... but we didn't did it after chkdsk

I directly came in arch

[echo plinth]

try without the -o rw

to see if throws the same

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

if it does u maybe need to chkdsk it again

thats why i do not like ntfs, is a messy filesystem

[echo plinth]

so go and chkdsk it again

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

this should not happen in the future just for u to know xd

[white iris]

This is one worked now

@echo plinth

But another problem

this onedrive is not opening

since Desktop folder is in onedrive folder...

@echo plinth

[cunning oyster]

probably because this is shortcut?

[echo plinth]

cause that is not a folder

its a link

[white iris]

so what to do now?

before this.. It was opening

[echo plinth]

thats impossible, thats a ntfs link not a directory

[white iris]

when I was reading only...

[white iris]

see this

[echo plinth]

try to see where it points

[white iris]

onedrive

[echo plinth]

bro cause that was using ntfs3 native kernel driver, which i guess it can follow ntfs links

[white iris]

so what can I do now?

[echo plinth]

see where that link points to

[sonic grail]

I'm sorry

itsgerliz@iusearchbtw:~$ ↩️

[Reply to:](#1236272382914592899 message) like some people on this support threads just tell people what to do without them understanding anyt…

[echo plinth]

this guy again xd...

[sonic grail]

im not a guy again

Anyways imma leave you alone

[echo plinth]

yes please

[white iris]

how to know this?

I tried opening it via dolpine

but can't

[cunning oyster]

mf

[echo plinth]

ls -l in terminal or right click properties see if it works

[echo plinth]

ok so as u can see Onedrive is a link to other place not a dir itself

lets seek for the onedrive dir real path

[white iris]

ok

How?

btw I don't use onedrive in windows 11... then wtf is this ??

[cunning oyster]

this shortcut is maintained by onedrive application iirc

so it doesnt have actual directory

[echo plinth]

its also possible but as u know ntfs links/junctions are not the same as other filesystems like ext4 (also the onedrive app must save the data somewhere)

[white iris]

Oh

so what can be done now?

ig this is hard.. can you tell me method to make a shared partition which both linux and windows can use together with harmony without any bullshitt...

[cunning oyster]

fat32/exfat partition

[echo plinth]

ok thats the easiest thing we can do, but helpers cant tell helped what he must do, just help with his issue

[white iris]

yepp...

[echo plinth]

so if u want we can help u in partition creating

the easiest is to create a fat32 or exfat partition since those are widely supported filesystems, also in linux and windows

[white iris]

Ok then tell that.. first 😁 ...

Ohkkk

[echo plinth]

do u have free space in ur disk?

[white iris]

yes

[echo plinth]

so go to the linux terminal

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

then u can use lots of utilities to partition the disk

i would recommend parted or fdisk, but u must know that is dangerous to partition a disk that is being used so i would recommend using a linux iso for this

[white iris]

I have unallocated space...

around 151 gb

ig that will have no such problem

[echo plinth]

yes thats not the problem, now ur disk is being used cause u are booted, but part a disk that is being used is QUITE dangerous

so betetr use a linux ise

maybe the arch one cause its lightweight

if u want

[white iris]

Ok

I have that pendrive.. by which I installed arch

[echo plinth]

that is perfect

boot into it

also note that fat32 and exfat dont use permissions, thats what i said, they are perfect filesystems to save regular files cause they are just simple

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

and they are supported even on mac cause they have lots of years since released

[white iris]

are there any cons of these??

[echo plinth]

honestly i think there is not, obv an ext4 or ntfs filesystem is more complete and complex cause they have access control, permissions, junctions, symbolic links, hard links etc

[white iris]

Oh

[echo plinth]

but to save regular files across different OS like linux and windows exfat and fat32 are the best options

og there is one

[cunning oyster]

but they are made specifically for different OSes, not for crossOS access

[echo plinth]

thats it

[white iris]

what?

[echo plinth]

fat32 can save files bigger than 4gb

[white iris]

can or can't?

[echo plinth]

cant sorry

[white iris]

lol

Np

[echo plinth]

individual files

[white iris]

Ok.. I don't have such files

[echo plinth]

like a fat32 fs can be 3TB long but it cannot store individual 4GB bigger files

exfat can

[echo plinth]

then fat32 is a safe option

it is old but so stable and trustable

also compatible

[white iris]

Ok

wait

what was the problem with ntfs rn??

[echo plinth]

that ntfs links are different and u cant access ur onedrive dir

and u wanted to create a compatible and simple filesystem to avoid doing all this bullshit

as u said

[white iris]

whatif I remove onedrive from windows 11??

will that work?

since I don't use onedrive

[echo plinth]

but then u wont be able to access ur files there xd

so then why u have it

[white iris]

lol

onedrive .. is not installed by me..

[echo plinth]

so then if u files are not in the onedrive dir just do not acess it

acess to the dir where ur files are saved

[white iris]

Oh

can we resolve the issue of onedrive link??

[echo plinth]

honestly i do not know how to dereference ntfs links, u could see in windows where that links points to and seek for that path in linux

or just forget about that link if dont need it as u said

do not delete it, just dont use it

[white iris]

Oh

[echo plinth]

so is ur issue fixed?

u can acess ur ntfs partition now right

[white iris]

https://www.elevenforum.com/t/turn-on-or-off-onedrive-folder-backup-syncing-across-windows-11-devices.4321/

what if I do this..

turn off onedrive from windows

then ig desktop will be in local instead of onedrive

[echo plinth]

ok see, if u do not need onedrive, removing it or not is up to you, here we are trying to help u about acessing ur ntfs partition, i think thats solved

[white iris]

Yes.. dude

just let me know another thing

that

[echo plinth]

go ahead

[white iris]

do I need to mount again next time boot into arch

?

[echo plinth]

yes, i want to make it persistent u must add it to fstab

[white iris]

How?

[echo plinth]

the /etc/fstab file is used by linux to know which filesystems must be mounted at boot time

[white iris]

Ok .. how to do this..??

[echo plinth]

instead of editing it manually cause it will be hard for u lets use a command

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

use genfstab -U / and send the output pls

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

if the command does not exist install the package arch-install-scripts with pacman

[echo plinth]

.

[white iris]

what command to write?

exactly

[echo plinth]

sudo pacman -S arch-install-scripts

[white iris]

whenever I copy paste .. why these unwanted symbols come??

[white iris]

done

now

[echo plinth]

u must use ctrl shift c and v to copy and paste

not just ctrl c or v

[white iris]

Oh kk

[echo plinth]

exec genfstab -U /

u may need root permissions

try with sudo if needed

[white iris]

Ok

[white iris]

without sudo runnned

and konsole closed

automatically

[echo plinth]

did u type exec?

exec wasnt part of the command u know

[white iris]

yes

lol

f

[echo plinth]

just in case xd

so thats quite strange

[white iris]

run again?

genfstab -U /

[echo plinth]

that command does not do anything special

apart from printing an output

run it and send output if u can

[white iris]

done

[echo plinth]

thats it let me see

there we have to remove some things

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

now we are going to redirect that output into ur /etc/fstab file and edit it to remove those unwanted lines, if u reboot without a good fstab ur system will become unbootable

so proceed with caution

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

genfstab -U / > /etc/fstab

this redirects the output to the fstab file

[white iris]

what is this good fstab

??

[echo plinth]

the file systems table

used by linux to know which filesystems must be mounted at boot time

[white iris]

Ok

sudo?

[echo plinth]

use root user

or sudo

[white iris]

again perm denied

[echo plinth]

use root user

it will work

[white iris]

how?

[echo plinth]

trust me

su - root

then type ur password when asked

[white iris]

exact command pls

[echo plinth]

.

[white iris]

only su - root

?

nothing else?

[echo plinth]

yep

su is to change user in terminal

yep

it will ask for the root password

[white iris]

Ok

now

genfstab -U / > /etc/fstab

?

this one now?

@echo plinth

done

this one

now?

[echo plinth]

ok

now open with a text editor that file

do u use nano?

vim?

[white iris]

idk

vim

this is available

[echo plinth]

so with the root user

vim /etc/fstab

do u know how to use vim right?

[white iris]

No

[echo plinth]

oh god vim is hard as fuck for beginners

[white iris]

done

i can

I can

[echo plinth]

no worry

press i

to enter insert mode

now send ss of the file rn

[echo plinth]

thx

[white iris]

now?

pressed i

now?

[echo plinth]

now u must remove the portal lines and the zram lines

to do this there is a shortcut

exit insert mode pressing esc

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

move ur cursour to the #portal line

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

then press d two times

it will remove that line

[white iris]

ok

[echo plinth]

the same with the line under #portal

[echo plinth]

same with that line

then same with the last two lines

[white iris]

now?

[echo plinth]

remove the last two lines

when done enter insert mode

and move to the word ntfs in the third line

[white iris]

now this is fine??

pls check twice 😅

[echo plinth]

yep thats it

[white iris]

now press i?

[echo plinth]

remove the blank lines

[white iris]

ok

[echo plinth]

just leave one blank line between sections

change ntfs to ntfs-3g to use the fuse driver instead of the kernel driver

[white iris]

now Ok?? or these blank lines also??

press i?

or change ntfs first?

[echo plinth]

now leave that blank lines

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

~ in vim means there is no line there

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

add -3g at the end of ntfs

[white iris]

can't

press i?

[echo plinth]

insert mode

yep

vim isnt simple xd

[white iris]

lol

now?

[echo plinth]

do u want to leave the windows part in /mnt or do u prefer other dir

like if u need to mount a usb in /mnt u wont be able to

[white iris]

idk... whatever you prefer

Oh

then make a diff dir ig

[echo plinth]

thats it

so now add at the end of /mnt /windows leaving it as /mnt/windows

[white iris]

what to now?

[echo plinth]

we will create this dir after

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

do u see the array of optins in the ntfs line

[white iris]

Ok??

[echo plinth]

the rw,nouid....

[white iris]

yes

[echo plinth]

remove all of them carefully with the spaces and type default

UUID=... /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

dont copy paste

it should look like this

[white iris]

what to do?

[echo plinth]

send output when done

type defaults

as i sent

[white iris]

defaults??

[echo plinth]

yep

to use defaults options

[white iris]

ok

[echo plinth]

thats should be ok

exit insert mode

then press :

[white iris]

esc to exit??

[echo plinth]

esc just to exit insert mode

when exited

type :wq

[white iris]

this is all ok ?? right??

[echo plinth]

yes

[white iris]

Ok

:wq done

now?

[echo plinth]

press enter to save and exit vim

[white iris]

yep

now?

[echo plinth]

when done umount /mnt if its mounted

[echo plinth]

is it?

[white iris]

type this command??

[echo plinth]

umount -v /mnt

or lsblk to see if windows part is mounted

[echo plinth]

umount

not unmout

[white iris]

typo

lol

[echo plinth]

also add one thing to the fstab

i forgot sorry

mb

[echo plinth]

ok we will handle that after this

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

open /etc/fstab again

and in the line of ntfs part

at the beginning there is UUID=...

do u see it?

[white iris]

yes

what to do?

[echo plinth]

remove the UUID parameter and type /dev/nvme0n1p3

[white iris]

really?? ...

[echo plinth]

just to be sure cause i do not know if filesystems uuid work with NTFS

[echo plinth]

Using the default settings will mount the NTFS partition(s) at boot. With this method, if the parent folder that it is mounted upon has the proper user or group permissions (e.g. /run/media/<username>/), then that user or group will be able to read and write on that partition(s).

/etc/fstab

<file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

/dev/NTFS-part /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

from the arch wiki

[white iris]

Oh

[echo plinth]

...

[white iris]

now?

[echo plinth]

but remove the uuid=

cause that is not a uuid

[white iris]

Oh

now??

[echo plinth]

it looks ok

[white iris]

Ok

[echo plinth]

:wq then enter

when done

exit to leave the root user

and go back to yours

[white iris]

Ok

now?

[echo plinth]

type cd to go to ur home

lsblk -f and send output pls

[white iris]
