Bug 215864

I'm trying out the ntfs3 kernel driver on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, but I'm unable to read some files. I also posted about this here: https://reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/u693vm/no_such_file_or_directory_when_reading_some_files/

The files that it happens to are a few GiB in size. It doesn't fail immediately, rather when I read it with dd status=progress the first time it reads a bit into the file (a few MiB or over a hundred MiB, depending on the files, but it seems to always be the same distance for the same file), and then throws "No such file or directory".

On subsequent reads, it gets through the whole file. Only, it doesn't really, because the resulting content is wrong. It's the correct length, but past a certain point the it's all zeroes. So it never truly reads the whole file, but only sometimes throws an error (when it's not in disk cache?). The same file always comes out correct with ntfs-3g.

Also, not sure if related, but after I've mounted and unmounted a few times with ntf3 and ntfs-3g, ntfs3 starts throwing errors saying:

"mount: /windows/d: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error."

and refuses to mount it unless I add -o ro. ntfs-3g still mounts it, and ntfs3 mounts it after rebooting.

The filesystem has compression enabled, in case that matters (though the files should be incompressible, as they're gzipped).

I tried running, chkdsk from Windows, but that did not change anything.
