Thank you, to all!
Moving files to NTFS partition is working fine, with the following entry in /etc/fstab:


UUID=904EBA4B4EBA2A3C /DATA                ntfs-3g    defaults,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0011,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

Thank you, again.

Hi Andrán, congrats.

And I suggest you using windows_names option of ntfs-3g to avoid accidental wrong file name in this NTFS partition. For your upper working fstab, it could be,

UUID=904EBA4B4EBA2A3C /DATA                ntfs-3g          defaults,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0011,windows_names,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

Note, I put it just before the locale option. And sorry if you read the upper CODE into 2 lines. It should be in 1 line.

After this, if you save a file in NTFS partition with a name string, e.g. test:xx.txt, that Windows won’t accept, Dolphin will warn you by this message,

Could not write to /WinD/test:xx.txt.part.

For more information of options of ntfs-3g, you could google ntfs-3g options.

I just found this option and felt it could be helpful so I added it to my /etc/fstab. Now I recommend this to you. Cheers
