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


That doesn't mean much, as the 'ntfs' driver is not an rpm, but part of
the kernel.

You have to issue "mount" to see how it is really mounted. Maybe it says
"fuse", then it is correct.


# mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt/MyCDs

# mount | grep /dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/MyCDs type fuseblk
(rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blks ize=4096)
