Mounting read-only marked NTFS-formatted USB-disks in LibreELEC

    Dear Community,

    as you maybe know, Windows users can explicitly mark their NTFS-formatted hard drives read-only - e.g. to consciously prevent any modifications on the disk. This can easily be achieved using "diskpart" via:

    Quote


    list disk
    select disk <disk number>
    attributes disk set readonly
    exit

    When having done that, the hard drive attached via USB cannot be automunted properly under LibreELEC. Even not via a remount on the shell manually:

    Quote


    mount -t ntfs -o remount,ro /dev/sdxX /var/media

    Automount of LibreELEC does work again as soon as the read-only protection has been removed.

    Do you know how?
