That's the type of mount I posted in https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/09/msg00488.html but I think it limits you to readonly, which suits me. If you (noone is reading this, are they?) decide to go for read-write access, it might pay to look at "Windows hibernation and fast restarting" on http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-manual/ which is one of several reasons I don't bother with it. I just don't trust M$ to allow anything outside their realm to work properly. Cheers, David.
