I use shotcut on a Ubuntu 24.04 desktop computer at home.
It has two old harddisks, one with ubuntu file system and one with windows NTFS system.
My windows laptop has not enough power for rendering.
And for data transfer between windows laptop and ubuntu PC I use a new HP 2TB external hard disk via USB
Almost after every restart of ubuntu system, it can’t mount the data hard disk or the external NTFS hard disk.
I need to open the hard disk managment and repair the file system. This takes only 1 second. So there is not much damaged.
I know it would be the best to use linux file system. But for data transfers between ubuntu and windows I need NTFS or FAT.
Seems that ubuntu has lot of trouble with NTFS drives
Are some experts here which have some hints how to avoid those problems?
If you have a wifi router, create a local server (ftp). And use that instead of a external drive each time, just permanently plug the hard drive to the windows laptop. Set the ftp server host location to external ssd, and voila you have a very basic but helpful storage network. Now it basically depends on your router speed capability, if it outperforms your external ssd speed, you get the speed of your external drive, and if it doesn’t, you’re limited to the speed of router. Use ethernet for best results. One thing I noticed, it wouldn’t play the file until it loads it in the system too. So look out to delete temporary files a lot more.
