My computer has two drives, a boot drive and a storage drive and I'm running Ubuntu 18.04. However, for some reason my storage drive is unusable.
$ ls
'$RECYCLE.BIN' _SMSTaskSequence 'System Volume Information'
$ mkdir new_folder
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘new_folder’: Read-only file system
$ sudo mkdir new
[sudo] password for ncw135:
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘new’: Read-only file system
I then ran
$ sudo mount -o remount,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 /media/ncw135/DATA/
base on this question which has changed the error message to
$ cd /media/ncw135/DATA/ # i.e. the storage drive
/media/ncw135/DATA$ mkdir new
$ mkdir: cannot create directory ‘new’: No such file or directory
/media/ncw135/DATA$
Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks
Edit - Progress
I tried to mount the drive somewhere else and got the following:
$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 ~/storage/
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an
unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation
or fast restarting.)
