I have an NTFS partition at /dev/sdb1.
When I mount it(mount /dev/sdb1 mnt), I can't access it as a non-root user, I get permission denied.
And I can't change ownership. From chown username mnt I get chown: changing ownership of 'mnt': Read-only file system, and still can't access the directory.

How to give permissions to a non-root user while retaining readonlyness?

    Here's my fstab mount options for read only NTFS-3G access: defaults,nofail,uid=1000,fmask=0133,dmask=0022,nls=utf8,ro- change as needed. For RW access I add noatime,discard. Commented Sep 5, 2022 at 18:58
  • @ArtemS.Tashkinov I'm looking for a solution without fstab, something I could do when manually mounting Commented Sep 5, 2022 at 19:04

Untested (I don't have any devices with NTFS), but should work:

ntfs-3g -o users,rw,umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
