Hello! I’m new to Manjaro and have dual-booted my PC with it as Windows completely broke my audio and is just unreliable (imo)
I have 3 main partitions
a Windows install on my old HDD, my Manjaro Install Partition on my SSD, and an 800GB Partition on my SSD which i used along with my Windows install, i tried to mount it by modifying /etc/fstab like so:
GNU nano 5.7 /etc/fstab Modified
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
UUID=83697b66-aefd-409b-8cb7-ce05ad61c0b9 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=142F-7985 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 2
UUID=DEE8446AE844434F /home/ndxdirectorscut/SSDMount ntfs-3g auto,rw,defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,utf8 0 0
UUID DEE8446AE844434F is my Data SSD Partition, and when mounted it is set to Read-Only
Unless Windows reset it, fast startup is already disabled.
I decided it was probably best if i follow the tutorial anyway, however im failing to mount the partition,
the mount point is the folder /home/ndxdirectorscut/ssdfiles/ and i created the file “home-ndxdirectorscut-ssdfiles.mount” and made it’s contents this:
then when trying to do systemctl show -p ActiveState -p SubState --value home-ndxdirectorscut-ssdfiles.mount
it outputs inactive dead
then when trying sudo systemctl start home-ndxdirectorscut-ssdfiles.mount
it outputs Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details.

Try restart the service with sudo systemctl restart home-ndxdirectorscut-ssdfiles.mount
and after that post what is the output of sudo systemctl status home-ndxdirectorscut-ssdfiles.mount
and journalctl -xe
When looking at the output of systemctl status, it said it was falling back to read-only despite the fact i disabled fast startup, Windows was still hibernating when shutting down, i had to use command prompt to disable hibernating and shutdown from there.
restarting the service on Manjaro after doing that not only made it work, but i can now access my NTFS Partition, thank you @Cedric_K and also huge thanks to @Wollie for the tutorial!
