Problem mounting ntfs partition drive

Support
,
1

I recently moved to manjaro . i installed manjaro on my ssd and i have 3 ntfs partition in my hdd. At first i couldn’t write to my drives but only in my ssd. Then i followed some links to fix this using kde partition manager. I think i made some mistakes while using partition manager. Now i can mount one of my partition only if i click the other two the following error shows

“An error occurred while accessing ‘Home’, the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sdb4: Unknown error when mounting /run/media/”

As i am new . it will be pretty helpful if someone helps me solve this

Then post /etc/fstab.

sudo or root -> /etc/fstab

i tried to run the command. but don,t know if i could do so properly.

sudo /etc/fstab                                                                                      ✔ 
[sudo] password for alamin: 
sudo: /etc/fstab: command not found

again i tried to search manually the /etc/fstab. Couldn’t find one.
fstab
I think my problem has to something with the mount point because when i changed something mount point of hdd became none. the i didn’t know what to do. Then changed all of them to /run/media

You cannot mount all of those partitions on the same mountpoint. Or that is to say, you can, but then only the last mounted partition’s content will be shown, and the other two’s content will be obscured.

Use different mountpoints. And don’t use ntfs as the filesystem type, because that driver does not support writing. Use ntfs-3g instead.

Lastly, the choice of defaults as a mount option for NTFS is not a good one. See the following tutorials… :arrow_down:

can i use any other two folder in /run folder other than /media for my other two additional drives?

9

First of all, /run/media exists in virtual memory, so it’s not an ideal place to mount those volumes, because those “folders” are not persistent — see my tutorials for recommendations. Secondly, you can create different “folders” for each of those volumes — again, see my tutorial.
