I'm having some permissions issues with Ubuntu 19.10. I have 3 disks:

sda/ 
sda1/ntfs with win10
sda2/efi
sda3/ext4 ubuntu 19.10
sdb/ntfs with files
sdc/ntfs with files

I've installed qbitorrent and cannot write to sdb but it can to sdc. I've installed emby also which cannot write neither sdb nor sdc. I've been playing around with fstab trying different options but none of them worked. I've also performed sudo chown -R user:user /mount point but same result

This is my fstab, i've tried different dmask and fmask values, also ntfs instead of ntfs-3g

UUID=C828D8A328D891B4 /home/user/series ntfs-3g auto,defaults,rw,users,uid=1000,gid=1000,utf8,dmask=002,fmask=113  0  0
UUID=38EC7FB0EC7F6752 /home/user/stuff ntfs-3g auto,defaults,rw,users,uid=1000,gid=1000,utf8,dmask=002,fmask=113  0  0

This is the result of sudo fdisk -l

I can copy/move files with nautilus easily to every disk.

I'm kind of lost, I don't know what else I can try.

Thanks in advance

  • I had a similar problem the last answer on this link helped me https://askubuntu.com/questions/70281/why-does-my-ntfs-partition-mount-as-read-only/1104709#comment1965753_1104709 – wraith3690 001 Nov 23 '19 at 16:09
  • As for what I had to do to mine was make sure that only the mount point was owned by my user sudo chown $USER:$USER /mountpoint and not all the subfolders in the NTFS. Then on my fstab lines they only look like this: UUID="345A7BC14A867667" /media/WD500GB ntfs defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 I have full read and write capabilities to my NTFS drives. – Terrance Nov 23 '19 at 16:16
  • Tried both, none worked :( – elRestaurador Nov 23 '19 at 19:36
  • Have you booted into Windows and disabled the Fast Boot so that it doesn't put the NTFS drives into Hibernation? – Terrance Nov 24 '19 at 04:44
  • I did, same problem. – elRestaurador Nov 24 '19 at 17:35
  • well, I've solver emby's problem, I just added emby user to the group that has acceess to the drive in fstab. sudo usermod -a -G group emby (group is the group added to have permissions on ntfs) I need to find out which user does qbitorrent uses – elRestaurador Nov 26 '19 at 19:24
