So i was attempting to update a computers system and the boot images needed to be recreate but i am getting error
error: cannot remove /boot/vmlinuz-linux (Operation not permitted)
warning: directory permissions differ on /boot/
filesystem: 700 package: 755
warning: warning given when extracting /boot/vmlinuz-linux (Could not unlink)
It appears to be incorrectly set permissions in the boot directory as i cant manually delete or modify any of the files even with su.
After checking the fstab as i suspect the boot directory is being mounted incorrectly it has the directory listed with the following
/dev/sda1 /boot ntfs defaults,nofail 0 0
this doesn't look correct to me but i have no idea what i can do to fix this , any help would be appreciated and will append more information if its needed

the ntfs driver on linux is read only, you want ntfs-3g
Why in the world would you use ntfs for /boot anyway?

the computer initially had only windows 8 installed on it a while back, its now duel booted with arch and win10 but for what ever reason windows decided to make the boot partition ntsf and i cant really format the boot partition into a none terrible format because the windows boot information is on it, is there anyway i can fix this while maintaining the data?

that works thanks, was more wondering if there was a more permanent solution, thanks for the help!

What is not less permanent with this?
If you are not happy with ntfs-3g, you may try using vfat, however that will need reinstallation of bootloaders.
Arch is home!
