Thanks for your reply Maurice, I tried the read-only driver on an earlier version maybe 6.6 and it crashed. I wasn't able to debug it myself but I suppose it could have been my external hard drive, the NTFS version or a particular file that caused that issue as it happened with a large data copy and a particularly large file (multiple GB).
I'm finding poor performance with USB drives on 6.8 with a hard disk and a card reader. It could be ntfs-3g with the hard drive but the card is FAT32. I am wondering if it's to do with the default shm kernel variables or maxfiles and such. It causes various hangs in thunar file manager. I previously had increased shm variables because of a KDE application recommending it for lots of file accesses. I know ntfs-3g is using FUSE rather than a native driver.
