Using an external drive formatted on a Windows system: # mount -t ntfs3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt -o windows_names,uid=$UID,gid=$GID mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
dmesg has: ntfs3: Unknown parameter 'windows_names' The drive ends up mounted using the old fuse ntfs-3g.' Plugin the drive and go to Files, the drive is listed and I can mount it, but I see the same dmesg entry and the drive is mounted with fuse. My workaround was to add an entry in fstab: UUID=99999999999999 /Volumes/WindowsBackup ntfs3 defaults,noauto,user,uid=9999,gid=9999 0 0 The "Disks" benchmark shows similar read rates, but average access time goes from 23 on ntfs-3g to 18 msec using ntfs3. -- George N.
