When ntfs3 fails use ntfs-3g

Suddenly my windows-partition - mount with mtfs3(kerneldriver) failed.
As a workaround i use ntfs-3g in /etc/fstab and this works great.

In mtab you will see it is mount with fuseblk.

Hi, @Steffan_Van_Thied and welcome to the Ubuntu MATE Community!

Not knowing enough about the guts of each of those, have you assured yourself that the two manipulate the physical disk in an identical fashion?

If not, does any of those inconsistencies prevent the portability of the filesystem to another system without the ntfs-3g capability?

See this:

No, they don't manipulate the physical disk in an identical fashion:
Kerneldriver ntfs3 borks the disk beyond salvation.
while fuseblk-ntfs-3g works perfectly.

Not at all, but how would you manage ntfs safely on that other system without ntfs-3g ? :slight_smile:
