I have 2 W10 partitions using ntfs. When I set the first one up for mount in fstab, I manually edited the file to use the ntfs-3g driver because the openSUSE documentation recommends using that FUSE driver. Later, for the second partition I used YaST Partitioner to set the mount point in fstab; in that case YaST wrote ntfs to fstab rather than ntfs-3g. Both appear to work.
Which is correct? And why do they both work?
Because nowdays they are actually the same driver. They were not, in the past.
You can verify by issuing the command "mount" and compare the lines for both mounts. Probably they say "fuse".
Right you are. Both report "fuseblk". I should have thought of that.
No, I thought of that because I made myself that question some time ago ;-)
And I also wonder what would be the keyword if anybody wants the ntfs kernel driver instead. But maybe that one has been abandoned. I would think so, I remember read was OK, but writing would result in an unclean ntfs filesystem.
