@Florian Linux NTFS development claims 100% NTFS compatibility. If you think otherwise then please describe here what your problems are because we very much would like to know and fix it if it's justified. Please note, Ubuntu uses an extremely old version of the driver which indeed has many problems which were already solved very long ago: http://ntfs- 3g.org/releases.html
@kyferez Moving a file is irrelevant of the file system. It's an application level issue. The software gives the orders and the file system driver (like NTFS-3G) executes them. This is how file managers always work during cross-device move (you assumption is horrible wrong!): 1. copy the file to the destination 2. sync the file to the disk on the destination 3. remove file from the source How can this go wrong? It's the 2. point in the hardware. The disk caches data and it doesn't flush them to the platter when the software asks but it lies it's already there to improve performance. This is not an Ubuntu or Linux issue. It's not even an NTFS issue. It happens all the time with all operating systems and all file systems. Here are some examples: OS X: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/05/2328259 Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940508 Regards, Szaka == NTFS-3G: http:/ntfs-3g.org -- file move causes data loss if interrupted due to system crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303610 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
