ntfs3-dkms
Did you installed the linux headers for your running kernels? Why not simply use the ntfs-3g from official repositories and use the NTFS-3G - ArchWiki to get things right?
Now, one can rely on the “automagic” provided by systemd, but more reliable is to add a static mountpoint under your home directory for these alien filesystems, and have them mounted via an entry in /etc/fstab, where you can set the required mount options and the required fake UID and permissions that must be applied when the filesystem is mounted. An example of a /etc/fstab entry for an NTFS filesystem follows below…
UUID=some-long-string /home/your-user-account/my-winfs ntfs-3g auto,nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000,utf8,umask=022,defaults 0 0
More information about the different mount options for NTFS, FAT/FAT32 and exFAT can be found by perusing…
man mount
Hopefully this post will have taught you something new. And just as hopefully, you won’t be breaking your system with this newfound knowledge. But if you do, you get to keep all the pieces.
