[solved] Mounting NTFS device problem

OS:Lede stable v17.01.4
Linux Kernel : 4.4.92
Problem:NTFS device cannot be mounted by 'block mount' command when option 'big_writes' was added to fstab.
All the package needed were installed correctly , so that when using 'mount -t ntfs -o noatime,nls=utf8,big_writes /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1', it worked without any issue.

This is my automount scrpit . No matter what filesystem devices have , finally mount them by ' block mount ' loading configuration from fstab.

fstab status:

root@PHICOMM_K3:~# uci show fstab
fstab.@global[0]=global
fstab.@global[0].anon_swap='0'
fstab.@global[0].auto_mount='1'
fstab.@global[0].delay_root='5'
fstab.@global[0].check_fs='0'
fstab.@global[0].anon_mount='1'
fstab.@global[0].auto_swap='0'
fstab.@mount[0]=mount
fstab.@mount[0].enabled='1'
fstab.@mount[0].uuid='A2F05308F052E1D9'
fstab.@mount[0].target='/mnt/sda1'
fstab.@mount[0].fstype='ntfs-3g'
fstab.@mount[0].options='noatime,iocharset=utf8,big_writes'

Okay I solved it myself.
Once kmod-fs-ntfs exists, ntfs-3g doesn't work. So just remove kmod-fs-ntfs.
