ntfs3 support? #847

Open BlueMax opened 2 years ago

BlueMax commented 2 years ago

Hallo, how can i mount an NTFS partition with 'ntfs3' (instead of 'ntfs-3g') via GUI? Manually unmounting and remounting as ntfs3 doesn't work either (mount -t ntfs3 /dev/mapper/veracrypt2 /tmp/folder). Doing this with 'ntfs-3g' does work though.

'ntfs3' has been introduced in kernel 5.15.

Could be something on your end. After mounting the volume, without mounting the fs, typing mount -t ntfs3 /dev/mapper/veracrypt1 /where/ever actually mounts it for me.

Yes, looks like its 'dirty'. Will try to fix this on Windows. Veracrypt cannot fix this with its own 'repair' function. It nevertheless doesn't seem to mount it automatically with NTFS3.

[12396.796442] ntfs3: dm-1: volume is dirty and "force" flag is not set!

Edit: Works now. Until VeraCrypt GUI supports NTFS3 i will use native Cryptsetup instead i think.

Has been any news of VeraCrypt supporting ntfs3 directly in the GUI? Tried this workaround unsuccessfully.

Pushing this up nearly a year later.

Currently by default veracrypt is not using the ntfs3 driver even if it's available on the system.
