BitLocker is now supported

  • use your BitLocker recovery key as passphrase

NTFS default driver changed from ntfs3 to ntfs-3g

  • this is done for better compatibility
    • ntfs3 cannot mount NTFS drives from Windows systems which were hibernated or which have Fast Startup enabled
    • ntfs-3g will fall back to read-only mount and issue a warning in this case
    • ntfs3 will generally refuse to mount a drive if it has any filesystem errors
    • using any unofficial tools like ntfsfix to clear dirty flag will not really fix those errors and can lead to further data corruption
    • chkdsk on Windows is the recommended way to fix NTFS errors
    • some users also have good experience with NTFS tools by Paragon (proprietary)
  • ntfs3 can still be enabled by specifying -t ntfs3 option when mounting
  • ntfs3 can provide significantly better performance (especially when writing)
  • there are permission issues reported when using ntfs3 with Windows system drives
    • specifically, /Program Files some folders within /Users are read-only (see this reddit post for details)
