Let's discuss NTFS (New Technology File System) and how to work with it in Linux Mint.

Mounting NTFS Partitions:
- NTFS is the default file system for Windows systems, but we can also mount NTFS partitions in Linux to read and write data.
- To mount an NTFS partition, follow these steps:
  - First, create a mount point using the mkdir command:
```
sudo mkdir /mnt/ntfs
```
  - Next, use the mount command to mount the partition you want (e.g., /dev/sdb2):
```
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb2 /mnt/ntfs
```
  - To check if the partition is mounted, run:
```
df -hT
```
  - Now you have read/write permissions for the NTFS partition you mounted¹².
Changing File Permissions on NTFS Partitions:
- To apply Linux-compatible file permissions to an NTFS drive, modify the /etc/fstab file.
- Add the following line to /etc/fstab:
```
/dev/sdb /mnt/ntfs ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=022,fmask=133 0 0
```
  This line specifies that the /dev/sdb partition should be mounted as NTFS in the /mnt/ntfs directory.
- Remount the partition or reboot for the changes to take effect².
