Linux Mint 22 - not mounting NTFS

[lcoughey]

I have a freshly installed Linux Mint 22 and was having issues mouting any NTFS formatted drive. I would get the error mounting error, stating wrong fs type. After scowering the web and reading through multiple forum threads, it would appear that this is a glitch with ntfs3 not playing nice with ntfs-3g and is quickly resolved by the following command:

Code: Select all

echo 'blacklist ntfs3' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/disable-ntfs3.conf
Then reboot the box.

I hope this quick and direct post helps someone else save time with a direct solution to the problem.
