Doesn’t explain what the problem was with ntfs-3g, beyond it being in userspace.

- forgotpwd16 4y ago>new, fast ntfs3 instead of the old, slow ntfs-3g A performance increase had there been no issues is good reason to switch.
- renewedrebecca 4y agoIs there really a good day-to-day use case for ntfs on linux though? I mean, I get needing to move some files back and forth, but having say a debian machine use a ntfs partition for /home or something just doesn't seem to make any sense really. (Which kind of makes the need for high performance vs. just working slow but reliably less important, IMHO.)
- alanfranz 4y agoI don’t see any benchmark, btw. And some random post over the internet e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/r3cjim/kernel_updated_to_515_should_i_keep_ntfs3g/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/r3cjim/kernel_updat... claims that ntfs-3g is actually faster. Do we actually need to boot off ntfs? Otherwise, userspace is simpler to code and maintain. ntfs3 seems to support some additional ntfs features, but I wonder if it wouldn’t be better to leave it to userspace in this case.
