Consider adding big_writes option to ntfs-3g mounts #128

Closed brendanhoar closed 5 years ago

brendanhoar commented 5 years ago

In almost all use cases, when mounting NTFS volumes on linux utilizing the ntfs-3g fuse driver, adding the option "big_writes" leads to significantly better write performance.

Please consider adding it to the default flag set, or at least provide it as an option to select in the ZuluCrypt and ZuluMount GUI.

done[1].

This option seems to be ignored in my local test since it doesnt show up in mount options registered with "/proc/self/mountinfo"

From the ntfs-3g searches, It's active but for whatever reason, the setting is not passed back up the stack. I'll run some A/B tests when I get some time to pull and build.
