Hi,

I have an Archer C7 V5 running DD-WRT v3.0-r50176
It is connected to a hard drive formatted as NTFS and I have the following issue: I can access the share from Windows but after browsing a couple of seconds, the router reboots.

There is an old topic dealing with the same issue
https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=323463&sid=26cc9ba509fc9e60bb673321e2215e19

It was found out, that the problem came from the NTFS partition.

Anybody knows if there is a solution to this problem or formatting to ext2/3 is the only workaround ?

Regards

You can try to run chkdsk on the disk from a windows machine.

But I would use ext2/4 as format

This sounds like of of those quick fix workarounds that shouldn't be a requirement strickly speaking, but and since our ksmbd is not and cannot be in sync with upstream, such issues will likely stay unless there's some patch that can be pulled in that doesn't touch the kernel APIS used by upstream.

Let me ping the upstream dev if he has any ideas.

Exactly this, use a native file system, otherwise which version OS, and any router settings needed to reproduce.

Such is the nature of opensource, especially when the only driver (pun intended) goes missing.

Perhaps Microsoft will take care of it, now its inlove with Linux... asif.

Microsoft opened exFAT file system specification so they could allow access, open NTFS spec to Linux developers.
TLDR Paragon NTFS3 is still very much WIP and appears to be slowly stumbling along. NTFS-3G is fairly stagnant.
Would I expect to have reliable write access, any sort of stability or trust either driver with my data? Nope. Nope.

NTFS-3G works reliably well, I use it never had any issues. NTFS3 however only really over DD-WRT to do tests recently with samba and not on any data I wasn't willing to lose or that I have no backups for, also didn't let me down.

Nothing went up in flames, no kittens drowned and no babies were harmed.

Microsoft has the resources and while semi debatable, the skills to maintain opensource projects to support reading/writing any of their filesystems in Linux, especially since most of their money makers are Linux based. They dont do it likely because all their opensource support rhetoric is just that, rhetoric.

Just wanted to report that this is still an issue on firmware version r52369 (04/20/23).

I upgraded from r32170 to r52369 and ran into this exact problem: Samba + NTFS = reboot upon accessing any file.
