Hi,

I've been using your ntfs driver for sometime now and it's great to finally have a good driver for this FS, however i have problem where if the power cuts off from my system while writing to the volume the partition gets corrupted, this is expected of course but the problem is that `ntfsfix` tool can't fix the partition and no matter how many times i run it the system will always spits this in the kernel log when trying to mount the partition:

    ntfs3: sdb1: volume is dirty and "force" flag is not set!

if i boot to a windows 10 OS then the system is able to mount the volume with no problem(even before running chkdsk on it), windows `chkdsk` utility can find the errors and fix them, and i can reboot to linux to use my partition again with no problem.

it would be nice to have your filesystem utilites published on github so we can use them with the current out of the tree driver


Regards
