Hello. Any of you, arch users, use another (NTFS) partition to store files that you can access from another OS? (I do it with windows)
- Three partitions in total: windows, arch and a NTFS partition with files.
I've just installed arch and mounted that partition to /mnt, and I noticed that I hadn't the privileges.
I've done "sudo chown -R myname /mnt/HDD" and I can explore the folders but I can't alter the files. Do you know how to solve this? How do you use a mutual partition to store files with a linux os and windows?

I've got the exact same issue, someone?

i don't really get it, i thought arch was a distro for "advanced users" but i always see beginners knowing nothing about linux using it.
can someone explaint that phenomenon to me ?

It's wierd because in ubuntu this was so easy, I didn't even have to mount the disk, it was just there on some "/" folder

He probably used some sort of gui installer.
There is a reason we don't like them

You're probably mounted as read-only.
Use ntfs-3g to mount.

how about you just google how to mount ntfs partitions on linux ? pretty sure somewhere within the first 3 results you'll find the answer

I installed with the iso from the arch website.
Why is this community so snobbish?

Thank you so much! I'm looking into it

On the off chance that this isn't bait.

Because go read the wiki like the rest of us did

Every day I do, it's really useful.
That's the reason I chose this OS to be honest. From the ones I've tried this has the best documentation online.
