Re: Ntfs3 keeps corrupting my ntfs partitons

Well, I recall it differently; at least, I think I do.

The only reason (as far as I am aware) that blacklisting the NTFS3 module in favour of NTFS-3G became popular, is that nobody understood why NTFS3 was actively preventing NTFS volumes from mounting.

The easiest ‘not-a-solution’ was to blacklist NTFS3 and install/use NTFS-3G which ignored the dirty bit. This was also the go to suggestion by many people equally ignorant of the reasons for this NTFS3 security measure.

For those interested, see: [Primer] NTFS on Linux for related information.
