To help you with the entry you have to add to fstab we’ll need some information.

Please run the following commands in a terminal and post the results:

cat /etc/fstab | grep -v "#"

sudo blkid

uid=1000(honnoji) gid=1001(honnoji) groups=1001(honnoji),3(sys),19(log),90(network),94(floppy),96(scanner),98(power),983(rfkill),985(users),986(video),988(storage),990(optical),991(lp),995(audio),998(wheel),999(adm),1000(autologin)

i also changed the label of the drive which at least solved one problem i had specific to wine, the space in its name indeed caused a problem

however there is still he problem of it not being seen as a drive or empty when anything wine related runs

  1. Create a mountpoint
    sudo mkdir /mnt/myntfsdrive

  2. Open /etc/fstab in editor
    sudo leafpad /etc/fstab

  3. Add the following line …
    UUID=B2DEC265DEC22209 /mnt/myntfsdrive ntfs-3g user,exec,windows_names,uid=1000,gid=1001,dmask=022,fmask=133,umask=0022 0 0

  4. Save the file & reboot

You can read about the ntfs-options added to the fstab in the ArchWiki :smile: .

thank you, it seems like i was on the right track with my version of the command but had just left out a lot.

Solved the only other problem i had left here, tho i will try to read on the archwiki again if i find myself knowledgeable enough to understand it.

I have found myself relying on mount units - they provide a nice easy to understand implementation for the sometimes :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: approach of editing fstab.

They are reusable as in - I store them with my dotfiles - and when I have reinstalled - which I do fairly often - copy them to the /etc/systemd/system - and enable them - with a second script to map my folders into my new home. It takes a couple of minutes after the install - to be fully up and running.

Great that you got the problem solved! :smile:

And please, do not hesitate to ask if you find anything too hard on the Arch wiki pages.
We all have been and still are newbies, learning new stuff every day. :sweat_smile:
