By default the kernel driver mounts read-only, NTFS-3G read-write. Mounting read-write turns on a lot of consistency checks to protect against potential data corruptions during write. But of one uses the 'ro', read-only mount option then NTFS-3G will mount the volume the same way as the kernel driver.
Yes, many people are not aware of this, or know how to use mount options. Because of this, NTFS-3G will fall back to read-only mount automatic by default in the future versions when read-write mount is unsafe. -- Let the user choose between ntfs-3g and ntfs kernel driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232443 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
