Hi, mount.ntfs-3g fails with a permission denied error when trying to mount a read-only loop device without specifying the ro option. There are multiple bug reports about this:
https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/553 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-disk-utility/issues/19 https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/460 It would be great if the behavior of mount.ntfs-3g in this case would be the same as for mount(8), i.e. to automatically mount the device as read-only if mounting read-write fails. See this comment for further information about how this works in mount(8): https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/460#issuecomment-308671396 Kai Lüke, the GNOME Disks maintainer, already wrote to this mailing list about the same issue three weeks ago, but the email doesn't seem to have arrived. Maybe it's stuck in moderation?
