Well, I don't use ntfs, but I used to, and I know the ntfs-3g works and
the captive is not recommended by people much more familiar with it than
myself for writing. It works fine reading.
Back when I still had windows, I created a fat32 partition and used that
to share, but since then I have reclaimed the space that Windows was
using and changed it so that Windows runs in a VM so I can still access
windows programs if I have to, but no longer have to reboot to do it.
Now I can just run Windows in a Window. I use Virtual Box for that.
