Re: Bug ntfs partitions become corrupted when not ejected

Read the rest of my post. I already explained. The default for Windows installs is quick removal, and you have to go out of your way to disable it to get on the other mode. What's the other mode called so I can look into it? It's covered in the links I posted. I read them more closely. Looking into...

Re: Bug ntfs partitions become corrupted when not ejected

OK. I know I should keep quiet, because for the past 20 years and more, on Windows I have never disconnected any external drive without having clicked on the "safely remove" button and waiting for the confirmation that it is now safe to remove the drive. Why in the hell don't all Linux de...

Re: Bug ntfs partishions become courpted when not ejcted

That's how the Linux kernel works. It's very different than Windows. Linux does not immediately apply the file operation, it waits. Anyway. Transferring data to an NTFS filesystem on Windows and then disconnecting the drive from the machine without ejecting it will lead to filesystem corruption on ...

Re: Bug ntfs partishions become courpted when not ejcted

That's how the Linux kernel works. It's very different than Windows. Linux does not immediately apply the file operation, it waits. Hm, actually Windows will also use disk caching for read and write operations. Whether write caching is used depends on whether the attached device supports write cach...

Re: Bug ntfs partitions become corrupted when not ejected

That's how the Linux kernel works. It's very different than Windows. Linux does not immediately apply the file operation, it waits. Also you have to keep in mind NTFS is proprietary, so Linux support is not great, it's a lot of reverse engineering and guessing (not much they can do without seeing t...

Bug ntfs partitions become corrupted when not ejected

How to reproduce bug tested on XFCE and Cinnamon editions: Mount the ntfs drive, run a file transfer small one, wait for it to be done, disconnect without ejecting. Drive won't be readable until the fix below is run. This is not how it should run if there isn't a transfer going not ejecting it would...

Re: Vpn Secerity issue

Many VPN providers have a Kill Switch option blocking all non-VPN traffic. Otherwise compose a firewall rule specific to your VPN setup something like ufw default deny incoming ufw default deny outgoing ufw allow out to [server IP] port 443 proto udp so far this is probably the best solution short ...

Re: Vpn Security issue

Any Ideas on what to do? a security issues like this should have more responses. Cause I don't think this is a me issue I think it's either all mint installs or all just the cinnamon edition, I don't have installs of any of the other editions. I image this could be a huge issue for someone doing som...

Re: Vpn Secerity issue

Also on the same note on fresh installs of mint I can't see a good reason for the firewall not being on by default, I don't think users should have to enable it. By default Linux Mint comes configured to allow all traffic as there is no web server, ssh etc by default. If you switched on firewall fr...

Sorry for the late response but it worked, but I'd really like to have the "is vsync on right now" displayed in the frame rate drop down like it used to be, nine out of ten people probably don't know xorg needs all displays to have same frame rate for vsync, Idk if it's still an option hid...
