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 can be mounted read-write because of the Hibernation feature of Windows. A temporary solution is to issue the following command:
ntfsfix /dev/sdb3
  • Of course, the correct way to solve the problem is to entirely disable hybrid shutdown / hibernation on Windows.
