Interesting. The drive name (label) doesn't matter for ntfs-3g. It must be
able to write it always unless it's mounted read-only. I guess your
configuration used the in-kernel driver at the first time with the original
name but it used ntfs-3g for the new name.
Thanks for sharing this information! :-)
