Partition shared with windows

Tiene10 · 2021-07-26 21:32:22

Hi,

I use a partition between windows and arch to share my files between the two OS.

I have the impression that windows is appropriating the partition because fdisk -l tells me that the type is Microsoft basic data and blocks access to Linux. So from linux, the files on the partition are read only.

Do you have a solution?

Thanks in advance.

Windows is not running, so it can’t block access to anything.

What is the file system on the partition?

If NTFS, have you followed the instructions?

If yes, are you using fast-boot option in firmware? If yes, disable it, run Windows, shut down Windows, then try mounting the file system under Linux.

turn off hibernation in windows, that fixed it for me and also make sure ntfs-3g is installed. and just mount normally and should allow write access.

Run command prompt as admin, then

powercfg.exe /hibernate off

then restart few times and try it. Go into windows after restart, then restart and go into arch

If changing hibernation settings affects you, it’s probably because you have the fast boot feature enabled for your firmware — mentioned above.

Oh yes Im sure. I prefer fast boot though and disabling hibernation is no inconvenience to me.

windows fast boot *is* hibernation and not compatible with dual boot systems.

You need to disable FastStartup, not FastBoot

FastBoot just delays devices startup

FastStartup, kinda suspends windows everytime it shutdowns, only reboot option makes a true shutdown. As it suspends, the partition was never unmounted in the first place.

Thank you for your answers.

Yes, I have installed and mounted my partition of shared files with ntfs-3g.

I think the problem is with windows.

When I start linux after using windows, windows boot manager takes priority in the boot order. So maybe the two problems are related. However, fast boot is disabled on windows and in the bios.

Do you have a new solution please?

Are the boot loaders on the same efi partition?

Please post the system journal (sudo journalctl -b) and output of "mount" after mounting the ntfs drive.
