Ubuntu 20.04 - Persistent Mount Options for External NTFS Drive Not Applying After Reboot
I'm having trouble getting my external NTFS drive to mount with specific options on Ubuntu 20.04. I've added the drive to my `/etc/fstab` file to make it mount automatically at boot, but the options I specified are not being applied. My `/etc/fstab` entry looks like this: ```fstab UUID=XXXX-XXXX /media/external-drive ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmode=755,fmode=644 0 0 ``` However, after rebooting, when I check the mount options with `mount | grep external-drive`, I see it mounted with default options instead. I’ve tried different combinations of mount options, but nothing seems to stick. I even verified the UUID with `blkid`, and it matches what I have in `fstab`. To troubleshoot further, I tried manually unmounting and remounting the drive with `sudo umount /media/external-drive` followed by: ```bash sudo mount -a ``` This worked correctly, applying the specified options. I'm also aware that NTFS drives can have issues with certain options, but I need these specific permissions for my use case. Any insights on why the options aren’t being applied automatically at boot? Is there something else I should be checking, or a different approach I should consider?
