Can I post here with similar problem instead of making a new thread?
I used to have my NTFS drive mounted by clicking on it in file browser, it just worked and I was able to read and write to it. Then I leaned more and edited the fstab file to auto mount the drive to a different location than /media. That worked well as well, I was able to read and write on it. This is the fstab entry I added.
Code: Select all
UUID=4CFEE673FEE654AC /data auto nouid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
It worked fine until today, after booting and trying to install a steam game(it runs off the NTFS drive) I got a write error. I digged a little bit and then checked properties for the drive, clicked permissions tab and it says: Owner root, Group root, Folder access root. File acess just shows "---".
I tried this in fstab
Code: Select all
UUID=4CFEE673FEE654AC /data ntfs defaults,noatime,utf8,dmask=002,fmask=111,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 2
Now under drive properties and permissions tab it displays my user name as owner, group and Folder access but file access still shows "---". I still can read the files and folders but can't create or delete files.
I hashed out the entries from fstab and let the system mount the drive after booting after clicking the drive icon. It does that with ownership under my username but Folder and file access still show "---" and I cannot write or delete files on this drive.
I'm not sure what way to look at.
