Fixing read-only Drive

I have a partition in NTFS so that I can put my whole documents there. Sometimes, Fedora mounts as read-only using fuseblk driver.

The fuseblk seems like a kernel interface to all FUSE-based file system driver. It probably uses NTFS-3g. It seems it got nothing to do with my system.

A quick search founds that it actually because the drive is marked as dirty. So, the system need to mount it read-only.

TL;DR: To fix it:

sudo ntfsfix /dev/nvme0n1p4

My laptop is running dual-boot. I still don't want to give up on the Windows Pro key. I mean, it's part of the cost that I spent to own the laptop. May be I would someday wipe it, but not now.
