If that was the case, would we not expect NTFS on Linux to be better, or at least competitive with other Linux filesystems?

- Strom 5y agoNot necessarily, because for that comparison to work you would need a proper NTFS driver. Does one such even exist for Linux? Looking at the Debian wiki [1] there's either a FUSE driver or a limited feature set kernel driver. Neither looks like a proper optimized "enterprise ready" driver. These work fine for accessing some files, but comparing these in a benchmark would no doubt show their weakness. Now even if NTFS is inherently a slower architecture than ext4 or something, that does not change the fact that this difference would be minimal compared to the absolute horror show that is the Windows Defender slowdown. -- [1] https://wiki.debian.org/NTFS https://wiki.debian.org/NTFS
