Why is the ntfs-3g version locked in Knoppix 7.4.2?
.
Just curious; I don't think I have a problem, but...
I notice what seems to be an inconsistency between Knoppix's purposefully
locked version of ntfs-3g and the version which Knoppix's version of
GParted assumes is more appropriate. See the attached png.
I don't normally do much with my Win7 partition except store some isos
downloaded by Win7 there. I do that, because that's where I have a lot
of unused Gbs there.
What's the story behind Klaus K locking the ntfs-3g version, anyway?
Addendum, using a different machine...
.
Using the same LiveUSB on a Win8 machine gives similar results, except
on Win8, sda3 again has GParted triangular warning flag, but since not
an ntfs partition, note is not ntfs specific.
Synaptic registers a locked version warning on ntfs-3g on first search
for ntfs on the Win8 machine.
CHKDSK removes part of the cloud
.
Discovered bad clusters on Win7 sda3 and scheduled CHKDSK/F, after
which GParted no longer shows warning triangle for sda3 on Win7.
Synaptic still says ntfs-3g is locked, but that may actually be the
case. Such is no longer seemingly hinted as a problem by GParted, anyway.
