Software support
- There is both support in the kernel and via the package sys-fs/ntfs3g which relies on FUSE.
- Very often the kernel support is unable to mount (or will only mount read-only) some filesystems. NTFS3g seems much more advanced / stable.
Issues
- With Windows 10, very often the partition cannot be mounted because of the Hibernation feature of Windows. A temporary solution is to issue the following command (usually allows to mount read-only):
ntfsfix /dev/sdb3
- To force a read-write mount:
mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /mnt/windows
- Of course, the correct way to solve the problem is to entirely disable hybrid shutdown / hibernation on Windows.
