I have ubuntu on my pc for half year right now. However recently I got annoyed by not enough space in my folder for files(ubuntu is on small 80 gb ide drive). So I partitioned my 750gb drive using exfat (drive has windows 10 on it) and mounted my partition. I was able to move files to it, change default download directory etc. The problem started, when I rebooted machine, and drive didn't mounted automatically. So I opened disk utility, checked custom mounting options, and checked auto mount. I rebooted pc, and drive mounted, but just for read. I've tried to edit /etc/fstab, but it did not help. I am using Ubuntu 20.04. Has anyone had this issue before? I would really appreciated any help.

EDIT: this is my fstab line mounting drive /dev/disk/by-uuid/9188-D2D0 /mnt/9188-D2D0 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0

    Could you [edit] your question to include: (0) the version of Ubuntu you’re using (1) any errors you see in /var/log/syslog about mounting the ExFAT partition (2) the line in /etc/fstab that mounts the partition. With this, it may be possible to offer a solution – matigo Nov 23 '21 at 22:21
  • the problem is, that there are no errors, partition just mounts as read-only – mikimause9 Nov 23 '21 at 22:40
  • Exfat should be natively supported on 20.04 but maybe you don't have the right packages. Can you run sudo apt update followed by sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils. See if this makes a difference. – Nmath Nov 23 '21 at 22:55
  • sadly it did not help – mikimause9 Nov 23 '21 at 23:22
  • Can you edit the question with the details requested by @matigo – Nmath Nov 23 '21 at 23:40
  • Are the permissions correct? You can check this by command 'sudo nautilus'. Ensure user and groups have read/write permissions. Save. Reboot. – rob grune Nov 24 '21 at 00:39

    Did you run Windows with the exfat partition mounted? Do you use hibernation or fast startup in Windows? Please turn off fast startup, because it is a kind of hibernation and leaves file systems 'dirty', writing is not finished. - If this does not help, try to repair the drive in Windows, and if this does not help, unmount it and mount manually with specified ownership and permissions according to this link that applies to all Microsoft file systems. – sudodus Nov 24 '21 at 08:35

I thought, that I checked every possible setting, but it turned out, that I forgot about most basic thing, changing permission. I opened nautilus as sudo user, changed permission. Without rebooting I haven't seen any change, so I rebooted, and drive mounted like a charm. Thanks for help.
