Hi fehlix,

Here is the file text you requested:

Code: Select all

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

#Entry for /dev/sdc1 :
UUID=9e69356d-94db-4b4f-b620-fa052a82fd20	/	ext4	noatime	1	1
#Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=629DBC5D48080494	/media/HDD	ntfs-3g	defaults,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=0002,fmask=0113,utf8,x-gvfs-show	0	0
#Entry for /dev/sdc2 :
UUID=5144ed61-9a42-48e6-bac5-9d2c2e36e328	swap	swap	defaults	0	0

This has been a telling and educational experience for me in more ways than one so many thanks for your patience and dogged determination to help me.
I believe you have resolved this for me but I have yet to test with Grsync. Certainly permissions is set to read/write.
I'll post back after setting up a Grsync backup but probably tomorrow as my ancient eyes need a rest.

UPDATE

Hi fehlix,

Great news - it all worked - Many thanks.

I believe ntfs has been synonymous with ntfs-3g in debian for quite a while (they use the better maintained fuse/ntfs3g driver no matter what type fstab or mount specifies)

Not with disk-manager, b/c we kept the original read-only options, in case someone needs readonly.

Yeah, I know. Already edited the post. I didn't realize I hadn't read into page two of the thread yet.
