Recently, I had the issue that my external HDD can’t be mounted as ( Read , Write ). It was getting mounted as read only for root user only. I needed to mount it as Read Write for all users.
The issue :
The HDD was not mounted properly , so that it needs to be fixed.
The solution:
connect the HDD ..
execute : dmesg
to know the HDD Block ( e.g. /dev/sdb )
then execute the mount comand like this
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mybook/ -o rw,force
then unmount the device
umount /dev/sdb1
then mount again.
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mybook/ -o rw,force
Don’t forget to unmount the HDD after doing stuff with it.
and this is it …
