Captive NTFS, a 'wrapping' driver that uses Windows' own driver ntfs.sys, exists for Linux. It was built as a Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) program and released under the GPL but work on Captive NTFS ceased in 2006.[39]
On first startup of Mounty, you probably need to accept a bunch of security-related settings:
We have seen that certain third-party NTFS tools will re-name the volume kind property of an NTFS drive to something other than "ntfs". In this case it might happen that the macOS kernel driver ist not able to re-mount in read/write mode anymore. Thanks to Giovanni for his patience to reveal this issue during a remote debug session :)
Side note; I was trying to track down the source of high cpu of ntfs-3g process when viewing via htop. Sorting by CPU, it constantly spikes at 100%. There are a few reasons according to the FAQ over at Tuxera and although none of them specifically say to update to version x, I thought it couldn't hurt. I couldn't locate a pre-compiled version so decided to roll my own. Thought I'd share in case anyone wanted a copy.
Check your dmesg for errors with ntfs3. Chances are the volume is still marked dirty, and ntfs3 will not mount a partition where that is the case without the force option. ntfsfix without any arguments will actively set the dirty bit, so that a chkdsk from Windows can do a real check/analysis. If you don't have that handy and want to clear the dirty bit despite ntfsfix not being entirely a good checking tool you can pass the -d argument to ntfsfix.
It is needed, when installing into a FAT32 file system in order to split the huge install.wim file, but when selecting NTFS, the installation should continue without wimtools. That way the WoeUSB bash shellscript will work without wimtools (but it wants an internet connection in order to get uefi-ntfs.img).
So, I plugged the USB stick again and after a: mount grep -E 'fuseblkntfs', lo and behold, it was mounted with ntfs3 . As I never, ever, touched anything related to that (knowing beforehand that it is not safe), can say that Manjaro/kernel/whoknows is setting ntfs3 as default.
I finally figured it out. The solution is to change the mount settings in the /etc/fstab. Because if you have the wrong options settings (see: ) you are not able to change the permissions because its a ntfs filesystem.
The NTFS file system is not case-sensitive. That is to say, NTFS will recognize a file named NTFS.doc and ntfs.doc as the same file. And this file system also does not support certain specific characters in file naming, such as ?, , *, etc.
I have a 1 TB NTFS version 5 formatted drive in my desktop that I use to store backups and movies on and would like to be able to run clonezilla on an ext3 partition on another hard drive and have it save all of it's images to my 1 TB ntfs drive either directly on the drive or in a folder on the drive, I don't really care I just want it to save and restore images directly from that drive.
For you questions,
1. Not sure. Maybe you can google that error messages about ntfs-3g.
2. Did you mean you want to save image on NTFS USB hard drive when you use Clonezilla live ? If so, basically the answer is yes.
3. You can give testing drbl (1.9.1-23 or later) with clonezilla (2.3.1-51 or later) a try. It will ask you about the size of volume when you run dcs to save an image.
You may want to refer to the following packages that are part of the same source:libntfs-3g883, libntfs-3g89, ntfs-3g-dev.You might like to refer to the ntfs-3g package page, to the Package Tracking System, or to the source package src:ntfs-3g's bug page.
It worked out-of-the-box for me (although I'm testing on kernel 5.15.76 / RaspiOS release 2022-09-22).You might need to specify mount -t ntfs3, if it does not default to it.Testing with an external USB HDD, its still not blazing fast, but there is a definite improvement:
The mount type ntfs-3g does not need to be explicitly specified in Arch. The mount command by default will use /usr/bin/mount.ntfs which is symlinked to /usr/bin/ntfs-3g after the ntfs-3g package is installed.
By default, ntfs-3g requires root rights to mount the filesystem if it is a block device, even with the user option in /etc/fstab. See ntfs-3g-faq for details. The user option in the fstab is still required.
For non-blockfiles like normal images, ntfs-3g on the command-line should work out-of-the-box with normal user privileges as the underlying FUSE calls are redirected to the setuid-root fusermount when direct kernel interaction is unavailable.
Note that the important programs for resizing NTFS partitions include ntfs-3g and a utility like (G)parted or fdisk, provided by the util-linux package. Unless you are an "advanced" user it is advisable to use a tool like GParted to perform any resize operations to minimize the chance of data loss due to user error.
If you already have Arch Linux installed on your system and simply want to resize an existing NTFS partition, you can use the parted and ntfs-3g packages to do it. Optionally, you can use the GParted GUI after installing the GParted package. At the core of the resizing is the ntfsresize(8) command.
As an alternative to above clean shutdown method, there is a way to completely destroy NTFS metadata that was saved after hibernating. This method is only feasible if you are not able or unwilling to boot into Windows and shut it down completely. This is by running ntfsfix provided by ntfs-3g.
