I don’t know when this happened. There was a system update a few days ago which went fine. Two days ago I wanted to download something onto one of my HDDs and got an I/O error. After investigating I found out that I no longer am the owner of any of my drives and can’t create/delete any files. Chmod/chown didn’t help. Editing the fstab file didn’t help since it had the exact same contens as when everything worked. Shuffeling exec,rw around has no effect. Mounting/unmounting didn’t do anything. Phisically removing the drives also didn’t work. Adding a completely new drive automatically set it to restricted. How the hell does soemthing like this happen? I don’t want to do a system wipe.

    Ok, I foxed it! I looked around in the log of which I mostly understood nothing, but then I came acress the section where the kernel/shstemd mounts the drives and the error it spits out. Googling it gave me an arch forum post with the identical problem. Windows didn’t shutdown correvtly the last time I used it and did something to the partition table. I’ll update my post wiy the solution.
