Checking permissions, in problem NTFS partition, root has ownership. In the good NTFS partition, my user had the ownership.
How can my user get ownership of problem NTFS partition?

Are you still not finished with your ntfs-experiments?
Obviously not…
Finally get this nonsense out of your head.
That’s what ntfs2btrfs is for. But I advise you against it. Plus you have no space to convert…
Buy an external drive and finally make a backup.
By mounting it in the terminal with write permission argument.
How, what and why - you can find it in Wild Wild Web, e.g. here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/ntfs3.html
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS-3G
https://man.archlinux.org/man/ntfs-3g.8
You caused the problems yourself. Have you already forgotten what I told you in your other topic?
Switch the volumes to a Linux file system (e.g. ext4 or btrfs) and you won’t have any problems anymore.
And if you want or have to work with NTFS:
- Disable automount for ntfs drives.
- Only mount it when you need it.
- Unmount it again when you’re done.
btw: Try to break out of your existing logic

Thanks for your response.
The one volume with NTFS that had write permissions I delete, previously backup 200GB and I formatted in BTRFS ==> All good.
But, I have problems with the other NTFS partition that have 1.3TB. First of all, I want to make it write to my user, right now is write only to root. Can you help me on that, please? Or, if impossible, I will backup the disk and format in BTRFS.
The problem is that I have not the ownership in the 1.3TB NTFS disk.
