Unable to write or take control of NTFS Drive

venky13081998 · 04-15-2020, 02:09 AM

Hi. Im dual booting windows and mint on my machine. I use a NTFS drive for storing my project files and separate ssds for booting OS files. I couldn’t able to write or import any files to any softwares like blender or natron. And most of the time i see this “ permission denied “. i also tried loging in as root and also installed ntfs-3g. I have to share my hard drive via network to my other windows PCs which I couldn’t do without the control in linux. Please help me out! Thanks.

NTFS has been well supported on Linux for many years, it should Just Work (tm).
Don't run a graphical session as root - you might well have made things worse through that.
I suspect rather a network issue, not an NTFS issue.
More troubleshooting information is required - "most of the time i see this permission denied" doesn't really tell us anything.

Doesn't mint come with ntfs-3g by default? I'd think permissions is the issue.

Statistically speaking, the Cofid figures are very dodgy.
Watch out for those vertical log scales!
Collection of raw data is poor, presumably in the interests of rushing out a daily figure.

It does affect them, although in less hi rates then older people.
But I've seen in the news reports about a baby (9 months), a 6-year old, 13-year one and a 16-year boy, all died from covid-19

Younger people mostly have less polluted airways, so often can get infected and recover from it without many symptoms, so they never get tested for it.
But they still can infect YOU!
