  • So, apparently Windows fast start-up reaaaaally fucks up disk mounts in linux.

    Permissions on folders & files become almost meaningless - whatever shows in ls -a is not what permissions exist.

    Files / directories are randomly corrupted, either showing weird errors, containing nonsense symbols, or, and this is the most frustrating, appear fine, but have a tiny random inconsistent error in the middle somewhere - like a value in column 25 of a million line csv that should have only 3 columns...

    Currently 3 hours into running chkdsk on windows. Only 6 to go...

  • Yeah, leaving loads of metadata in a special undocumented cache breaks the Linux NTFS driver completely.

    Was it really the only way to improve startup time, or was breaking compatibility a goal? Your guess is as good as mine.
