Hi, apologies if this is not the right avenue of apporach, I've been unable to find out how to register on the forums to raise an issue there. Please point me in the right direction if a different venue is more appropriate for bug reports.
I'm working on a project where a media with some data has to be prepared on a Linux system to be read by a windows system. The media must not be written to by the windows system, so I'm using SD cards (which have a physical write protect switch). It appears that a file system created by ntfs-3g on Linux (using 2017.3.23) cannot be read by windows from a read only medium. I'm using the below test case: On the linux system: - Create MBR label on SD card - Create partition (with parted), using fstype ntfs - Create file system on partition with mkntfs - Remove SD card from machine, and write protect using the physical write switch On insertion into a Windows 10 system the following occurs: - There are errors about errors on the NTFS file system in the event log (unfortunately I do not have the exact details, can deliver later) - The partition is shown as "RAW" in Disk Management, but is assigned a drive letter - chkdsk.exe recognizes the file system as NTFS, and reports no errors When allowing write access to the SD card windows successfully recognizes the file system and mounts it. Is this expected behaviour? _______________________________________________ ntfs-3g-devel mailing list ntfs-3g-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ntfs-3g-devel
