Mounting /Home/ on diffrent disk, but I can only get readonly

General system Newbie

Hello!
Long story short, I want my notebook to dualboot with Endeavouros and windows. I have my userfiles on Sdb1 / (D:/) . It was easy to point user’s folders to D:/home/* on windows, but I having a hard time doing it on endeavouros. in fact I was able to archive it for a few month until last week, now everyhting is read-only and its a pain.

/etc/fstab:

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

is there any better way to archive this?

It looks like the output is truncated. Can you make your terminal larger or send the output to a file so we can see the whole thing?

Also, did you disable fast-startup in Windows? If you don’t, they will be marker dirty in Windows and can be marked read-only in Linux because of that.

yep, already disabled windows’s fast startup.
Fstab edited so now is not truncated :smiley:

Can we see the output of findmnt --real

sure

It seems possible it is being marked ro because it is detecting some errors there.

What does sudo fsck.exfat -n /dev/sda2 show?

have you tried taking ownership of the drive?

sudo chown -R Username. /dev/whatever it is

as far as windows I’d rather put a bullet in my head lol
