Disclaimer: I am very new to Linux (1 week).
I have installed the Valve version of Steam on LMDE6. I have used Disks to automatically mount the NTFS drive I used with Windows (doesn’t hold bootloader, it is just for Steam library storage) at boot ( /media/[username]/Gaming ) and I made it the default library folder in Steam.
Running games works perfectly (actually, performance is surprisingly good), but I cannot install them due to a “disk write error”.
I looked for solutions and found this page, from which I understand that I need to change permissions to the mounting point, but when I do, using chown -R, I get a “Read-only filesystem” error for all files and folders.
I can see no options to fix this in Disks and I tried to edit fstab once, but it messed things up so badly I had to use the USB drive with the portable installer to fix things.
To me that means I would feel comfortable using the remove_hiberfile and recover options listed here https://linux.die.net/man/8/mount.ntfs-3g
Put these in your fstab and it’ll get fixed every mount
