Well, if the partition and mountpoint are always the same between your various drives, then could create a designated mountpoint in your $HOME and add a line to /etc/fstab — something along the lines of…
You will then need to manually mount the filesystem — you should be able to do that from within Dolphin — and make sure you unmount it again before unplugging it.
fstab only contains the settings for non-default (User session defaults) device.
My NTFS drives are all set as “default”, and their settings are not in fstab.
Is there another place to look for “default” device?
It doesn’t matter. If you add that line to /etc/fstab, then that will take precedence. Without it, the system uses the udisks2 framework of systemd to autodetect and automount your filesystem, and as you could see, it’ll then use the buggy ntfs3 driver by default because your kernel happens to support that.
So as to say, if the 1st ntfs device in fstab is mounted using ntfs-3g, then all other ntfs devices (user session default or not) will be following ntfs-3g?
ie. the system will use either ntfs-3g or ntfs3 at any time, but not both at the same time?
No, you misunderstand. That line in /etc/fstab will allow you to easily mount an NTFS partition, as long as it’s the first partition on the drive that the kernel sees as /dev/sda.
So unless you’re also mounting NTFS partitions which are not the first partition on the drive and/or they are on another drive than /dev/sda, you can use this one line for sequentially using and mounting an NTFS partition. Dolphin will check /etc/fstab when you tell it to mount the volume, and if you mount it manually, then you only need to issue the command…
sudo mount /home/wind77/NTFS
… provided that the folder /home/wind77/NTFS exists, of course.
Perhaps some light instructional reading is at the order.
If they are all the first partition on the drive that the kernel sees as /dev/sda, then they don’t have to be, because you (presumably) won’t be plugging in more than one drive at the time, and each time you plug in a drive, it’ll use that one line.

Update: I agree with you An alias in modinfo is handled differently as an alias in modprobe. Sorry, for my ignorance, I just assumed it and didn’t test it, actually. Is corrected also above
I would still call myself a linux noob, can you explain to me what this command actually doing with my system? Is this a temporary command and after a restart it vanished?
Will i maybe run in future into issue with the old and unmaintained ntfs-3g? And maybe ntfs3 is someday fixed and superior, how can i revert this command back if its persist in my system?
and, using sudo privileges, sends it to file /etc/modprobe.d/disable-ntfs3.conf
(creating it if it doesnt exist)
(( also - the ending file will contain only that line … overwriting any contents … the -a flag would have appended ))
What a blacklist does is pretty self-explanatory. It blacklists that module. So if something during start or other operation of the system wants to try and fire up the ntfs3 module … it should fail to do so.
No. It stays this way until you remove the file.
Possible it is. Maybe even likely, skewing more likely as time and abandon wear on.
It’s not Manjaro, it’s LINUX (or rather microsoft keeping the source code for ntfs closed).
You are asking Manjaro to list things that are not 100% “supported” on linux, that list would be veeeery long.
just because ntfs-3g works with no complaints, dont automatically assume it is superior to ntfs3. i have found many times where ntfs-3g happily working over NTFS partitions, when there were data corruptions detected only in windows utils (i.e. chkdsk). while YMMV with ntfs3, it will atleast reject mounting corrupted NTFS drives while ntfs-3g does not and makes things worse.
if you value you data, and need interoperability (windows/linux/macos) resort to exFAT as already suggested.
