Write access on external HDD

Hi all,

I just installed libreELEC on my cuboxtv.
To this cuboxtv I have a HDD connected throw USB.
Whenever I try to write something to HDD from my PC by accessing the cubox throw IP address I receive an access denied.
Please tell me how to change this.

ps. I have no knowledge of linux command.

Regards!

Since we are no fortune tellers, what format is on the HDD? EXT4, NTFS, EXFAT, something else?

Hi,
The format is NTFS.

Quote from chewitt

Reconnect the NTFS drive to a Windows box and run chkdsk.exe, then disconnect correctly to ensure the filesystem is "clean" because if the filesystem is not clean Linux will mount the drive read-only ~ and that would explain why nothing can be copied to the drive over the network.

Unfortunately that didn't help.
When I switch to openELEC microSD card it writes corectly. Only in libreELEC I get this issue.

Regards!

Well thanks to misek from Solidrun forum I got the workaround. Here's the solution:

"Because kernel module for NTFS filesystem is enabled it is used instead of ntfs-3g.

You can fix the issue with blacklisting the module using ssh console:

echo "blacklist ntfs" >> /storage/.config/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

After reboot your ntfs system will be writable again.

Next image will have this fixed."

Hope to help others.
