hi everyone, how are you.
I have a strange problem. I own 8 external hard drives, and ALL of them are using NTFS for easy access from Windows which almost everyone I know uses as their primary (or only) OS.
These drives behave perfectly when accessed from Windows 8.1/ Windows 10 systems.
But when I connect them to my openSuse 42.3 system, not all files can be copied from them to the laptop. Say there are 10 files in a directory called "My_vacation", and I start copying them (using KDE), it'd copy 8 of them, but for the remaining two it'd say something like "could not read /sdb1/videos/My_vacation/pic008.jpg" and "pic009.jpg" and then offer me the choice to skip or abort.
Like I mentioned earlier, these same files can be read very well using a Windows system.
I even ran a chkdsk/f on these drives from Windows and it said no errors found.
The SMART stats are good for all my drives (no re-allocations, pending sectors, or timeouts, or anything that might arouse suspicion of failing hardware).
Is there a way to fix this strange problem?
If it matters, the computer that's running openSuse is all openSuse (not dual booting with Windows), and its own internal drive has no SMART problems either. All files in the internal drive can be read okay (given the logged in user account has appropriate rights, of course). The /boot partition is EXT3, and the only other partitions are "/" and swap. The "/" is BtrFS, and my ~ is in /, so I'm trying to copy from NTFS to BtrFS, The kernel is 4.4.126-48.
If any other information is needed, please ask.
Thank you.
