I have additional HDD:

cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
...
# External 1TB drive for some data
/dev/disk/by-uuid/20A949F121CEADD8 /mnt/20A949F121CEADD8 auto rw,acl 0 0

but its always mounted in read only mode..

Partition type of this HDD is NTFS.

uname -a
Linux My-Tower 5.14.0-1052-oem #59-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 9 09:37:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried from other SO but:

sudo mount -o rw,users,umask=000,exec /dev/sdc1 /mnt/hdd_data
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an
unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation
or fast restarting.)
Could not mount read-write, trying read-only

what can I do to change it for normal usage?

thanks

ok thanks guys for help!

I found here how to mount it properly: How do I use 'chmod' on an NTFS (or FAT32) partition? then I realized about NTFS issues so I did fix:

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdc1

and its ok now :)
