Why Can’t I Edit or Create Folders on My Mounted Drive in Fedora?

Asked By CuriousCat42 On

I recently switched to Fedora 43 KDE, and I've run into a frustrating issue where I can't create any folders or modify files on my mounted drive. It keeps telling me I don't have the necessary permissions, but I've checked and it looks like I have all the required permissions. My system SSD is running low on storage, so I really need to access this mounted drive. Any insights on what might be going wrong?

First off, can you tell me what filesystem your mounted drive is using? If it's NTFS, there could be some underlying issues with it that might need repairing. Sometimes, if Linux detects filesystem problems, it will refuse to mount it or might mount it as read-only. You should also share the output of the `mount` command for that drive and the `ls -ld` command for your mount point. It could help pinpoint the problem!

The filesystem is listed as fuseblk. Here are the outputs: mount returns [this](https://imgur.com/a/ceEqKvW) and ls -ld gives me drwxrwxrwx 1 elliotter elliotter 4096 Jan 09 22:43.
