/etc/fstab settings when using ntfs3

Support
1

I have 15.5.2 in arch Linux. Pretty much the same as manjaro.

In my /etc/fstab I have e.g.:

UUID=“46021680021674E1” /mnt/win10 ntfs3

See? There is nothing (i.e. EOL) after ntfs3.

I had already uninstalled ntfs-3g, so that can no longer mount anything on my system.

And what about fstab options for ntfs3?
Are those the same?
If I I already have ntfs drive in fstab can I just change it to ntfs3?

I have dual boot with Windows.

I don’t know for sure, but speaking from experience, mine does not like any options after ntfs3.

4

What happened that you believe you can say this?

5

Well, the system not booting, I had to enter the root password to proceed to edit my /etc/fstab and then I had rebooted.

6

This only tells you that the options you applied did not work, but it’s a bit early to say

7

Yup, I tried without any options, just " 0 0" and did not like that, either.

8

Are you sure ntfs3 is a supported fs-type in fstab? Where did you read this?

9

I’m sure because it does work. It has mounted okay, while ntfs-3g was uninstalled.

Otherwise, about the options: I don’t know. It works for me, so I don’t bother with the options.

10

I think the way you come to a conclusion is questionable. What happens if you replace ntfs3 by ntfs in combination with previous options? Using a type without justification is outrageous.

11

I am not a theorist of Linux. I only care that the system works.

As these settings are not justified I will hide the thread from the public.
