NTFS disk mounting as readonly, but chkdsk finds no issues

I have had a portable external drive formatted as NTFS filesystem mounted on my pogoplug. Recently, it has become readonly, so I noticed that there is this message in dmesg output:

[424388.512360] ntfs: (device sdb1): load_system_files(): $LogFile is not clean.  Mounting read-only.  Mount in Windows.

I mounted the disk on my Windows 10 laptop and ran chkdsk and it found no issues, so I put it back on pogoplug and it still mounted as readonly and the above message is still there. Here is the output of chkdsk:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk /f d:
The type of the file system is NTFS.

I have tried this multiple times but to no avail. Is there anything else I could do? This question may not be specific to pogoplug, but all topics I found via google were dead ends, as most of them were able to solve it by running chkdsk. Here is some information on my pogoplug setup:

What version of ntfs-3g are you using ?

Quote

apt-cache policy ntfs-3g

https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=names&keywords=ntfs-3g
1:2017.3.23AR.3-3 is the latest.


Try to mount this problematic ntfs drive on some other linux distro, for example Porteus
http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/porteus/x86_64/Porteus-v5.0/

admin@pogoplug:~$ apt-cache policy ntfs-3g
ntfs-3g:
  Installed: (none)

     1:2016.2.22AR.1+dfsg-1 500

Doesn't that mean, it is not using ntfs-3g? Should I install it for better support?

I haven't gotten a chance to do this yet, but I will report back as soon as I get a chance.
