I have been trying to automount via fstab an external hdd formatted as ntfs. When it tries to boot it goes into emergency mode or it wont give me permission to do anything but read files. I tried whats on #113733 and it still didn't work on ls -l

drwxrwxr-x 2 ~user~ 4096 Sep 4 19:10 download
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Oct 23 18:54 hdd
drwxr-xr-x 2 ~user~ ~user~ 4096 Oct 23 15:30 hdd2
drwxrwxr-x 8 ~user~ ~user~ 4096 Apr 8 2022 plex
drwx------ 3 ~user~ ~user~ 4096 Apr 8 2022 snap

and in fstab I have

UUID=18F7-2D4F /home/~user~/hdd2 ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,umask=000,dmask=027,fmask=137,uid=1000,gid=1000,windows_names 0 0

Any help is welcome, I am on Ubuntu server 22.04 Kernel: 5.15.0-52-generic

    For external devices, may also want to add the nofail option, so boot continues even when that device isn't available. The nofail option is best combined with the x-systemd.device-timeout option. Was this drive mounted with Windows? If so, Windows probably left its fast startup/hibernation flag on, preventing the Linux NTFS driver from fully mounting. https://askubuntu.com/questions/843153/unable-to-mount-windows-10-partition-it-is-in-an-unsafe-state & https://askubuntu.com/questions/145902/unable-to-mount-windows-ntfs-filesystem-due-to-hibernation – oldfred Oct 23 '22 at 19:25
  • hey, i'm sorry for the delay, work has been crazy, i've tried the fast startup option on 843153, and it still gives me the same permission error, i'll be trying 145902 today – SuaMae Oct 28 '22 at 16:05
  • ok, i've tried a few other things beside whats on both questions right now i get this when i try to mount:

    sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sdb1 /home/~user~/hdd2

  • NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details. – SuaMae Oct 28 '22 at 16:25
  • So have you run chkdsk from Windows as it says in the error message? You can only fix NTFS from Windows. A very few fixs can be done from Linux but normally better to use Windows tools on Windows systems and Linux tools on Linux systems. – oldfred Oct 29 '22 at 02:20
