I have an external drive. When I just plug the drive into the PC, with a default /etc/fstab file, the OS just detects it and it's there in the Dolphin browser. I can select it, I can navigate to it on the command line, read/write/etc the files on it, etc.



I'm trying to mount the drive into my home directory
so that Plex Media Server can access it. I've done this a million times before with this same drive no problem, on Linux.



I recently re-installed the OS and went to set up the drive, same as always. Again, this exact same configuration has worked in the past, on the same version of Linux (OpenSUSE Leap 42.1), on the same machine, with the same hard drive. I've added this entry



UUID=F474B7AA74B76DCC /home/craig/MediaDrive ntfs-3g defaults,nofail,permissions,auto 0 1


to /etc/fstab to mount the drive in my home directory.
I get it mounted to /home/craig/MediaDrive.
The first weird thing is that ls -l shows



d--------- 1 root root 12288 May 16 18:33 MediaDrive


So then I go to set ownership and change permissions with



sudo chown -R 777 /home/craig/MediaDrive


and I get the error:



chmod: changing permissions of ‘MediaDrive’: No space left on device


The thing is, there's plenty of space left. There's over 300GB of space left. I'm pasting my df -h output below.



Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sde1 1.9T 1.6T 316G 84% /home/craig/MediaDrive


It doesn't seem to be an inode issue; here is the output of df -i:



Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sde1 331060948 4846 331056102 1% /home/craig/MediaDrive


Again, this permissions issue only exists with the drive when I try to mount it in that location (in my home directory); otherwise when it's just at the default run/media/craig/My Passport location, it's fine. Reads, writes, etc.



How can I get my drive to mount successfully in my home directory?

Umount it, and make the mountpoint more permissive. Sometimes this is relevant... maybe it is in your case because using a different mountpoint has different results. Compare the permissions on those 2 directories for more info.



Check man ntfs-3g for options, and use them, for example:



mount -o fmask=664,dmask=775,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sde1 /home/craig/MediaDrive
