Public bug reported:
NTFS partitions created using gnome-disk-utility don't work on Windows.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open gnome-disk-utility;
2) Choose to create a NTFS partition;
3) Insert the media with the NTFS partition on Windows;
4) Notice how it will hang forever and never load the data.
I suspect this is happening because it's using the ntfs kernel driver
instead of ntfs-3g. One noticeable difference when creating the
partition using Linux is that there are some messages on dmesg:
[ 2845.877068] ntfs3: Max link count 4000
[ 2845.877073] ntfs3: Enabled Linux POSIX ACLs support
[ 2845.877074] ntfs3: Read-only LZX/Xpress compression included
I believe the best would be that the default NTFS partitions create on
GNOME Disks are compatible with Windows. At least the interface still
claims it would be compatible with Windows, even when it isn't.
Tested Xubuntu 22.04 Daily and with Windows 10.
