The Windows disk/ partition/ volume/ filesystem stack and the Linux 
stack are fundamentally different.  When using one filesystem with both 
operating systems, features and interoperability are opposites.  A 
simple filesystem, such as FAT, has minimum features and maximum 
interoperability.  A complex file system, such as NTFS, has maximum 
features and minimum interoperability.


If you want to know the reasons behind the interoperability effects that 
you are seeing with NTFS under Linux, then I suggest that you study 
Windows drive/ partition/ volume/ filesystem technical documents, the 
corresponding Linux technical documents, and the Linux ntfs-3g driver.


If you want a disk/ partition/ volume/ filesystem that "just works" with 
both Windows and Linux, then I suggest that you backup your data, zero 
the HDD, use Windows to partition the HDD, use Windows to format the 
partition using the exFAT filesystem, and restore your data.  This 
should give you a filesystem that all users and processes can access 
under both Windows and Linux.  If you want to limit access to all or 
part of the disk, then one solution is to create multiple partitions and 
filesystems, and mount each as required.
