🔒 Closed Mounting Storage Devices with Read and Write Permissions (Linux)

[R3g4z4k1]

If you do have external storage device connected to your Linux box with NTFS, make sure that the filesystem is clean.
Before you mount the storage to your


Linux terminal:

1. Run the below command
   ntfsfix /dev/storagedevice ( like sdb1 or sdc1 )
   
   
2. Reboot your Linux box
3. Mount the external storage by running the command:
   mount -o rw /dev/storagedevice /media/
   
   or
   mount -o rw /dev/storagedevice /mnt/
   
   or mount the storagedevice via GUI.

Please reply for suggestions and clarifications.

I only append -o ro option if I want to mount a drive in read only. else, just use the mount command followed by the device path and mount point after that. By default naman kasi if you use mount without any appends by default read/write mode agad yan.

As for persmissions, -o rw append is not a a permission, more like a mount option. Kung gusto mo lahat meron read/write access dyan sa drive na yan. you might wanna use chmod 777 instead.
