Hello,
Last Kubuntu distribution to write colons to external drives NTFS formatted was 18.04. I am now with 24.04, in my view the best Kubuntu since 18.04. And I have huge libraries with movies and transcoded music, which files contain colons. If I want to copy them to another NTFS formatted external drive, errors will occur as now NTFS-3G is set (according to NTFS-3G manual) to "windows_names" and it won't write colons anymore. My question is:
is a one shoot solution, not a permanent one.
Thanks.
PS2: I haven't use Windows since 2010, and will never use it again, so writing colons to NTFS drives doesn't bother me at all, on the contrary, it simplifies my life and makes it better

My question is:
- How could I permanently change this setting, to Posix writing, so to write colons too? And do this for all NTFS drives, not only for chosen ones (according to their UUID). I've read something about "acl" (in the same NTFS-3G manual), but don't know how to set it. Could somebody help me with the codes?
Code:
sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /media/userspace
Thanks.
