Ubuntu 24.04 NTFS mount error

Ubuntu 24.04 (with kernel 6.8) may give an error while mounting NTFS partitions.

Solution: disable the open source ntfs3 driver and force Ubuntu to use the old ntfs-3g driver. Reboot to apply.

echo 'blacklist ntfs3' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/disable-ntfs3.conf

If the partition cannot be mounted, run ntfsfix to fix the problem.

sudo ntfsfix /dev/ntfsdevice
