Replace ntfs3 with ntfs-3g

Ubuntu 24.04 (with kernel 6.8) may give an error while mounting NTFS partitions. You can replace the default ntfs3 driver with the good old ntfs-3g driver when the ntfs3 driver does not work.

echo 'blacklist ntfs3' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/disable-ntfs3.conf
sudo rmmod ntfs3
sudo apt install ntfs-3g

Solution: disable the open source ntfs3 driver and use the good old ntfs-3g driver.

If one NTFS partition cannot be mounted, run ntfsfix to fix it.

sudo ntfsfix /dev/ntfsdevice
