Nixpkgs: External usb mounted only in ro

[pasqui23]

When I want to mount a my usb drive,it is mounted in ro mode ,even if I mount with mount -o rw,bypassing udisks.

Would you mind

cat /etc/os-release

and describing the desktop you are using if any.
Cheers :+1:

Check dmesg just in case, you may have corrupted filesystem, in which case it's sometimes mounted RO automatically (varies for different filesystems).

Could it be NTFS? I had similar experience due to not having ntfs-3g and in-kernel driver only supporting reading.

[andsild]

Can confirm that it worked for me after installing ntfs3g (i.e. I could mount ntfs drives as read/write using mount)

[pasqui23]

Yeah it was ntfs3g.
Still would be nice to put some hint in the documentation.

My two cents: ntfs3g should be added inside environment.systemPackages and not within the packages of the user.
