Some mounted drives show as read only on Linux, work on windows

[gloomy elk]

Hi again!

For background, my machine has a grand total of 8 separate drives: I have the system drive and 3 dedicated game drives that are all NVME, I've got two SSDs and two HDDs. I've mounted these into directories inside my home directory (probably bad practice, might change in the future) with the general format of ~/slow_storage_1, ~/slow_storage_2, ~/ssd_1, ~/games_1 and so on. I've attached a picture of my ls command output. I've also edited fstab and there's also a picture of that. Also, if it's helpful information, the drives all show as normal on Windows side, and according to Windows at least, are using NFTS file system.

The problem is, many of those mounted locations show as read only: In the ls output you can see directory names highlighted, and those directories show as read only. I have no idea why this is, or how to even begin to fix it.

What I would expect to happen is that all of my drives would show up fully usable on both Windows and Linux side of things.

ntfs drives dont support permissions so idk what's going on there.

u can try to open a root file manager and see if u can create a blank document in them, as a test.

also, make very sure Windows Fast Startup is turned off.

windows fast startup should be off, I will confirm in a bit

Also how does one open root file manager

[earnest sluice]

on cinnamon it is Nemo; so sudo nemo

or right click in file pane, n pick open as root

this is how those folders look graphically

interesting

elevating privileges makes it possible to make a thing

I'm going to try clearing a directory...

That's NTFS for you.
And don't mount them like that , let mint handle the mounting

[gloomy elk]

okay so how should I do that?

[lean nacelle]

When opening a drive, mint will attempt to mount it

May ask for sudo password

Also, I may have just deleted the system volume information....

shit

[lean nacelle]

Idk , never had that folder

[gloomy elk]

how do I get mint to mount them on startup?

[lean nacelle]

With disks app

Just be sure to get rid of the way you were mounting those

That's how I auto mount my drives
