Can't write files on NTFS partition

English Applications
#1

I mount a NTFS partition under /windows/I. I can create a new text file
under this folder. However, each time I tried to save this file after
modifying it, the system told me that I do not have the access to do
that. Suspect that there is something wrong with my fstab. But I don’t
know what exactly goes wrong. anybody can help?

Here is the content of the fstab.

You have both dmask and umask. I don’t know this well enough to help
you use both at the same time, but you do something simple like this
(where I have changed fmask from 133 to fmask=113 and changed “dmask 0
02” to “dmask=002” , and removed umask). You could try this, reboot and
test.

Code:

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3320613AS_6SZ04WLN-part14 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2

The options should simple be “defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8”
So you get like this:
/dev/etcetcetc /windows/X ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0

oldcpu, thanks for your help. It works.

swerdna, since oldcpu’s solution works, did not try yours. Thanks all
the same.

It works the same :slight_smile: (although I’d use defaults and not mess with
permissions if there’s no need to)
