Solve the permission problem caused by mounting NTFS partition on Linux

When my Linux automatically mounts the NTFS partition, it always reports an error with some files when I decompress the folder. I used the ls -lia command to check the permissions and found that the owner of the automatically mounted NTFS partition is root and belongs to the plugdev group. Although I can still copy, remove, and edit files freely, decompression always reports an error.

I tried to use chmod and chown to modify the owner of the files and folders in the entire NTFS partition to me, and the modification permissions were 777. Although the program prompts that the execution is successful, when the ls -lia command is executed, it is found that these two commands have no effect at all.

Use sudo vim /etc/fstab and find that the configuration is like this.

UUID=58D03D91D03D767A /mounts/workdisk ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=022,gid=460 0

After checking /etc/group, I found that gid=46 is the plugdev group. The umask is the value minus 777, so the permissions are finally programmed to 755.

I made the following changes:

UUID=58D03D91D03D767A /mounts/workdisk ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=10000 0

The umask is all 000, so the permissions are all 777. I checked the /etc/passwd file and found that the number of my account was 1000, and the number of my group was also 1000, so I made the above changes.

After restarting the system, all files in the NTFS partition are owned by me. The permissions are all 777. If you decompress the file again, the error will not be reported.

PS: When mounting the hard disk in the fstab file, try to use UUID instead of driver files such as /dev/sdb4. Because, every time you restart, the driver will update the hard disk partition corresponding to this file. If you use a format such as /dev/sdb4, then when you insert a USB flash drive, mobile hard disk, etc. into your computer and restart, the wrong partition may be mounted, or an error may be reported.

Use the ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ command to view the uuid corresponding to each partition.
