I thought that NTFS supported just got merged into the kernel some weeks before? Anyone know about the progress?

So I sent my old drive back to Sandisk and I'll see if it was with that specific model. I'll also wait for some time and see if wear and tear may cause problems. What's interesting is that the broken drive works on both Fedora and macOS, but not Windows. That's why I didn't speculate the drive itself was broken before.I am going to bet that the NTFS code is very similar on Fedora and MacOS. So likely it is a code bug or a usage bug (see comments below). you did make sure to umount it on Linux/BSD before removing it right? And if you hibernate the machine(any os) and remove the usb device while hibernated the filesystem may not be consistent, it has to be explicitly unmounted on both windows and fedora before removal so that all data is fully written. In the past it was suggested to not use NTFS as a transfer drive and to use something simpler like FAT32 as that fs's format is better documented and simpler than NTFS. That may or may not still be the case.Most NTFS installation on Linux use a user-space implementation via Fuse, which is known to have some limitations (IIRC it's fine for reading but might be problematic when writing). A new kernel-based implementation is apparently on the way and is said to have a higher degree of compatibility. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
