Description of problem: An NTFS partition on my laptop will no longer mount read-write, but it used to work ok a month or so ago (I don't know the ntfs-3g version that was working). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ntfs-3g 2017.3.23 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to mount NTFS partition using Nautilus 2. Enter sudo/elevated password Actual results: NTFS partition is mounted read-only. Expected results: NTFS partition is mounted read-write. Additional info: See two journal log snippets below from different dates, the same issue occurred on both dates. Please note in each case, ntfs-3g reports "rw" for "Cmdline options", but then reports both "rw" and "ro" for Mount options. I don't understand where these options are coming from, and why the mount options has both options, which doesn't make sense.

Please plug the device, then unmount /run/media/alex/Data, then mount manually with no options to a user directory and post the output : As root : umount /run/media/alex/Data mkdir /tmp/nvme ntfs-3g /dev/nvme0n1p8 /tmp/nvme
Hi there, I followed the steps and this was the output: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting.) As such I must apologise, this is not a bug.. my laptop is a dual-boot with Windows, and although I had previously disabled fast restarts in Windows in order to share the NTFS partition, it seems Windows decided to re-enable it by itself, possibly due to a recent update.. thanks Microsoft :) Once I had disabled fast restarts (again), the partition is mounting read/write as expected :) Apologies again, this is not a bug and I shall close it.
