[Solved] Auto-mount incorrectly in read-only ?!?
Greetings, everybody ! Let me introduce myself first, i'm Darth Killer, DK for short, i've been using arch-based distros for a while, and started a short while ago using the real arch, the arch way. Always loved the arch style and architecture and tools, except for one thing : the installation. Although i personnally can do it now (and have done it a few times) i still think it should be a second option for experts rather than the only option, even on the main arch distribution. But that's only my opinion, and even so it won't make me run away from arch the slightest. 
Problem and context
I'm in the process of rebuilding a new desktop install, and for some reason i'm having an issue i've never had before : my external USB3 mecanical WD Green 2TB disk auto-mounts in read-only. I've always used the MATE desktop, and i've used it in its GTK3 form for several installs of this computer now, as for the kernel i've used the main 4.10 one for several installations too. Yet, it's the first time this has ever happenned to me. Note that none of my USB sticks are affected by this.
I've found several solutions to "patch", like defining udev rules, it but i don't like them, it's like putting some bandaid on a cancer protusion. I want to find the real source of the problem to find a real solution to it. I'll add in annex some documentation i found while researching my problem, as well as output to some commands to give you my environment.
Documentation
Command outputs
Here's the output of a custom lsblk (with some added comments of my own). Note that both the faulty hard disk, and the Arch livve USB Stick were plugged in in both cases.

sudo udevadm info -a -p $(sudo udevadm info -q path -n /dev/bus/usb/004/002 )
Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.

Re: [Solved] Auto-mount incorrectly in read-only ?!?
Seriously ? That was it. I guess what this package does (it's not even an AUR one) is installing the proper NTFS drivers ?
Either way, thousands of thanks.
