   I guess any such "common Linux problem" must just be with NTFS   
   since it's definitely not a common problem in general use with   
   Linux filesystems. In that case note that there are competing NTFS   
   driver projects for Linux, and if you're using the kernel's   
   built-in NTFS driver, try NTFS-3G instead. Unmount the NTFS   
   filesystem and then mount it again using the "ntfs-3g" command   
   from the command-line:   
      
   eg. if you run   
     mount -t ntfs   
   and it returns something like   
     /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/windows type ntfs ([...])   
   then do   
     sudo umount /mnt/windows   
     sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows   
   If you get "ntfs-3g: not found", install the ntfs-3g package and   
   try again   
     sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g   
      
   There was actually a new Linux NTFS driver announced recently, but   
   it won't be available to use in Mint yet:
