I have a physical drive with several partitions. There is an Ubuntu/Windows dual-boot on this drive.
sudo lsblk
sdb 8:16 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 0 100M 0 part /media/System_Reserved
├─sdb2 8:18 0 199.9G 0 part /media/user/9486423786421A5E
├─sdb3 8:19 0 100G 0 part /
├─sdb4 8:20 0 1K 0 part
└─sdb5 8:21 0 631.5G 0 part /media/user/Playground
Also,
user@user-desktop:~$ sudo df -HT
/dev/sdb5 fuseblk 679G 512G 167G 76% /media/user/Playground
Lastly,
user@user-desktop:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 * 2048 206847 204800 100M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

/dev/sdb5 629147648 1953521663 1324374016 631.5G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
I can create and erase files on /dev/sdb2
, but not on /dev/sdb5
, although these appear to be mounted similarly. I have tried some mount and unmount suggestions outlined here, but they didn't seem to help.
How can I make this partition writeable from Ubuntu?
Edit:
Another bit of information is presented when I inspect the mounts
sudo mount -l
/dev/sdb5 on /media/user/Playground type fuseblk (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096) [Playground]
/dev/sdb2 on /media/user/9486423786421A5E type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096,user)
ls -l /media/user
andid
