My HDD with ntfs filesystem randomly switches to fuseblk

Is there a reason to it? My guess is that it happens because i downloaded the ntfs-3g package (sudo pacman -S ntfs-3g)

Re: My HDD with ntfs filesystem randomly switches to fuseblk

Deleting ntfs-3g (sudo pacman -Rns ntfs-3g) worked and it's back to ntfs now, but I've ran into another issue:
I thought turning from fuseblk to ntfs would make my drive re-writable, but I'm still stuck on it being read-only.
Is there a way to fix that?

I solved it.
By reading the following wiki page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS#F … _read-only), I managed to make my HDD re-writable again.
