I don't know what is wrong with my NTFS harddrive. Why do you insist on having EXT?

[–] Chais@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Because ext supports proper access rights from actual operating systems.

Akshually

NTFS is also posix compatible. If - for some unimaginable reason - you want to use an NTFS drive with linux only, you can set permissions, but it will break Windows compatibility. More info here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition#74851

Of course windows does not properly support the one disk format they use. I did even use NTFS for a while cause the ntfs-3g driver has an option to force lowercase. Now I have upgraded to EXT4 with case folding.

I can't be certain they mean the filesystem or if she's asking for the external drive, which for many people is the D drive. Also that it can be passed around implies it's external too. Cause who only has one drive formatted as ext?

I don’t know what is wrong with my NTFS harddrive.

Having a NTFS partition is what's wrong with your hard drive.

Can confirm, my NTFS hardrive broke every week on my server. Unfortunately that is my only hard drive so I cannot format it without loosing all the data.

[–] AffineConnection@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What specifically do you mean by "broke"? File system corruption?

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, I have to use NTFSfix or plug it into a windows laptop, it is very annoying.

But my setup is fairly janky though. I use a external drive on my homeserver as storage drive, and because of torrenting it is almost constantly on read/write. And I use a ubuntu LTS server, so it might not be the most friendly os to use with a NTFS drive. But there is no going back now.

Are you using the NTFS3 kernel module instead of the FUSE driver?

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am not really knowledgeable about OS and kernel, I just use the default for ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
