NTFS partition mounted, but read only

[tommasopeduzzi]

Hello,
Sorry in advance for the newbie question.
I have an NTFS partition with all my documents on it, such that I can share it between my windows partiton and my linux partition.
I have mounted it through /etc/fstab, which looks like this:

# <file system>             <mount point>  <type>  <options>  <dump>  <pass>
UUID=3635-8AF0                            /boot/efi      vfat    umask=0077 0 2
UUID=f1845f90-15dc-4b37-94a3-6515fb2ceb8e /              ext4    defaults,noatime 0
/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

UUID="1D254BE563D71870"    /mnt/ntfs/ ntfs-3g nls-utf8,umask-0222,uid-1000,gid-1000,ro 0 0

I have ntfs-3g installed, but the drive is still mounted read-only.
In case it helps, here’s the output of lsblk --fs:

Thanks in advance!

This is because you have enabled (or not disabled) the Windows Fast Boot or Hybrid Sleep mode on a dual-boot system.

You have to disable that — from within Windows itself, of course — because if it’s enabled, then Windows does not properly shut down its filesystems, and the Linux kernel will then see those filesystems as “potentially damaged” and will mount them read-only so as to prevent further damage.

Do you sometimes use ?

You may have to disable hibernation and fastboot in Windofs

@andreas85 @Aragorn Thanks for the reply! I have disabled Fast Boot of course, I just forgot to mention it.

@Nachlese Thanks for the answer! I forgot about that option! I set it when first setting up the system to prevent shenanigans with Windows and now it screwed me
