I've a exfat 14TB external drive which is auto mounted via /etc/fstab:

UUID=XXXX-XXX /media/my-drive exfat defaults,uid=1000,gid=1002 0 0

my user is (example: ubuntu) uid=1000 the group 1002 is "samba". Members of the group are root, ubuntu, plex, and a few more.

My issue is, that only ubuntu has write access to the files. The other group members don't have write permission.

How can i fix that? Is it possible to make exfat drive writeable for ALL user of the maschine? Because i want to access the drive with differen services (plex needs somtimes write access, samba to mount the drive over network in windows, and so on).

If i hit ls -l i can see, that the user and group id of the files is correctly set.

drwxr-xr-x   9 ubuntu samba

Any ideas :) ?

The group does not have write permissions. To change that add umask=002 to the options in your fstab-line:

UUID=XXXX-XXX /media/my-drive exfat defaults,uid=1000,gid=1002,umask=0002 0 0

See this answer about the use fo the dmask,fmask and umask options.

You'll need to reboot to apply the change.
