Hi guys,

I have an ntfs partition which worked fine before.
Now when I try to create a new file on that partition I get the error:
"No free mft record for $MFT: No space left on device"

When I delete one file from the partition, I'm able to create a new one.

A bug occurring while extending the MFT in some special
situation was fixed in ntfs-3g-2017.3.23AR.2 and your issue
may be solved by upgrading.

Some distributions have packages available for ntfs-3g-2017.3.23AR.2
and ntfs-3g-2017.3.23AR.3 otherwise you have to compile
your own from source :

If I got it correctly the MFT should have at least 12,2% of the partition's size.
That would be some GBs for me. Atm $MFT is about 411MB.
So I don't get it, why the MFT can't increase in size although there is enough free space.
find tells me I have about 419811 files/directories on that partition.

using:
kernel: 4.9.0-6-amd64
ntfs-3g 2016.2.22AR.1
