That's the NTFS3 driver for you. Corrupter of partitions... I had so many hassles, and it's still happening to others recently, I don't know why that thing is included honestly.
I was doing the same with winbtrfs, and it's pretty good overall but kind of a mixed bag sometimes. The biggest pain is file permissions since winbtrfs isn't sane and use something like uid 1000. So when you write or alter files or you'll get file permissions errors on the Linux side. It's workable just changing the permissions back when in Linux if that happens
I read on the github that there is a registry key to set to fix this problem
Yeah,performance overhead aside, in Windows it reads and writes fine because of that. Anything thqt changes in Windows however will write the uid of that file as the windows SID I believe, either way I was using regularly the chown -Rf commands to reclaim files back in Linux.
