NTFS drive unmounts executing anything from steam

I have problem where my drive seemingly randomly unmounts when certain tasks are executed. Example of this might be launching a game through steam. Games launched through lutris work just fine, and all other tasks i have tested so far work without problem. I use this drive while dualbooting arch and windows. The drive works fine with windows, but not in Linux.

Output i get from running cs2 through steam:

$ journalctl --follow --no-tail

Remounting with ntfs-3g works and makes the drive work like before.
But the drive still unmounts when trying to launch anything through steam, therefore I tried mounting with ntfs3 to see if it would change anything, just to notice that it couldn't even mount.

The problem i am trying to solve is the drive "breaking" when starting steam games, and I am very lost as i have not found anything when trying to search the web.

Re: NTFS drive unmounts executing anything from steam

Don't use NTFS under Linux.
If you want to exchange data with Windows or Mac use exFAT.

Re: NTFS drive unmounts executing anything from steam

I don't know if exfat is a very good solution. From what I have read it is better to use NTFS while dualbooting as it is less vulnerable to corruption and such. Therefore i don't use exfat.

Re: NTFS drive unmounts executing anything from steam

It'S the exact opposite: although both ntfs and exfat are developed by microsoft - exfat was made public in 2019 and hence proper drivers exist according to its specs. NTFS is still a reverse-engineered mess with even most recent 6.9/6.10 kernel driver still only supporting up to ntfs v3.x. NTFS is not meant to be written to on linux - as its security architecture is way different - posix and windows don't mix very well.
exFAT on the other hand is widely adopted by the industry since it's made open back in 2019 and therefore is the optimal modern FS for inter-OS exchange - aside from oldschool FAT32 and its limits like 4gb file size or 2tb partition size.
To put it this way: There's no official ntfs driver from microsoft for linux for the current ntfs version - if you dual-boot with win10 or win11 and formated the partition using windows it likely uses features not yet implemented even in the most recent linux driver. In fact the new 6.9 ntfs driver is based on yet another proprietary one from a company named paragon.

Re: NTFS drive unmounts executing anything from steam

Im sorry for my confusion, exfat seems to be the more supported and better format. Right now the issues lies with reformating the disk. I have alot of data on it that I can't move anywhere else as I have no other big drives to keep the files temporarily as i reformat the drive. If there isn't a way to reformat without deleting all the content, then reformating is currently not an option in my case. I thank you for the information you have given me on the support of exfat respectively ntfs on linux.

Re: NTFS drive unmounts executing anything from steam

Failed to find VCN #1: Input/output error

Since the drive looks ok, see 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

This condition isn't limited to NTFS and will fuck up exfat *at least* as much as well as random other HW, notably radio (wifi/bt) is a common victim.

Re: NTFS drive unmounts executing anything from steam

After disabling hibernation and fast startup in windows using 

$ powercfg /H off

I rebooted windows twice and afterwards linux twice, the same problem persists. 

$ journalctl --follow --no-tail

Re: NTFS drive unmounts executing anything from steam

Also ntfsfix doesn't really fix anything, clearing the dirty bit is just clearing the dirty bit. While in Windows to verify fast boot is disabled, run a chkdsk on the drive.

FWIW I've had games that are common to both win and linux for years now on an NTFS drive, running them with both ntfs-3g and ntfs3. Works fine generally, but especially ntfs3 used to have the habit of corrupting things, make sure you're always in a situation where you can run chkdsk. Also generally speaking it'd be a good idea to symlink the C:\Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/steamapps/compatdata path to your ${HOME}/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/ which ideally resides on a linux native FS. That way proton prefixes can be created with generally correct permissions, while the actual game data stays on the NTFS drive.
