I'm running two different Linux systems, CachyOS and Arch, on separate drives. I have an old HDD used for downloads, but I can't write to it while using CachyOS after I set it up in fstab on Arch. I'd like to make this drive writable in both systems. Any tips on how to fix this?

If you’re not finding enough answers here, consider searching for 'NTFS drive is read-only' in this community. There are plenty of threads on this topic. Also, don’t forget to check the Arch wiki and CachyOS documentation; they usually have great info on dealing with NTFS drives.
What filesystem are you using, and what exactly did you add to your fstab file? Knowing this can help pinpoint the problem better. For instance, NTFS drives often need specific options for full functionality.
First, check if the drive is actually mounted as read-only. You can do this by running the command `mount` in the terminal. If it says 'rw', then it’s likely a user ID (UID) or group ID (GID) issue that's causing the trouble.
