What am I doing wrong?

Are you mounting, in Linux, as ntfs or ntfs-3g?

The 'ntfs' Linux driver is read only.

The 'ntfs-3g' Linux driver is the read/write driver.

But, unless you ask mount to use ntfs-3g specifically, the
auto-detected default (at least on the one system I've got where I
mount an ntfs formatted USB drive [left as ntfs for compatibility with
a winblows system]) is 'ntfs'.

Depends on the distribution; for example on openSUSE the default is
ntfs-3g.


This is the only instance I have not been able to mount an NTFS
read/write with Fedora.

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 29 (Twenty Nine)

$ rpm -qa ntfs\*
ntfs-3g-2017.3.23-8.fc29.x86_64
ntfsprogs-2017.3.23-8.fc29.x86_64

This is something windows is doing. I am going to try Rich's and
Paul's tips next time this happens.
