 Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2022 8:33 am Post subject: Steam and NTFS through ntfs3 module [solved] |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to replace ntfs-3g with the new kernel 5.15 ntfs3 module but Steam games won't work. Searching the forums I found this post
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1146462-highlight-steam.html
but my problem is different: Steam works like a charm with kernel 5.15 as long as I stick with (FUSE) driver ntfs-3g.
In fstab, Steam gets along with
| Code: | | LABEL=NTFS_SSD /mnt/ntfs_ssd ntfs-3g locale=es_ES.utf8,users,exec,uid=1000,gid=100 |
but not with
| Code: | | LABEL=NTFS_SSD /mnt/ntfs_ssd ntfs3 users,exec,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0 |
(the "locale" option is not supported (needed?) anymore)
Any clue?
Cheers.

Hello, I am very curious, just for general development - did you manage to solve this problem? If so how did you solve it? Please share your experiences...

No, I didn't get to solve this  I think I'll stick with ntfs-3g until I can get rid of NTFS everywhere (not using Windows that much these days). |

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/ntfs3.rst: | Code: | Mount Options
=============
The list below describes mount options supported by NTFS3 driver in addition to
generic ones. You can use every mount option with **no** option. If it is in
this table marked with no it means default is without **no**.
* - iocharset=name
- This option informs the driver how to interpret path strings and
translate them to Unicode and back. If this option is not set, the
default codepage will be used (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT).
Example: iocharset=utf8 |

grknight, that did the trick, thank you so much!!
So, for future reference, the corresponding line in fstab ended up
| Code: | | LABEL=NTFS_SSD /mnt/ntfs_ssd ntfs3 noatime,users,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,iocharset=utf8 0 0 |
