- saghm 3y agoThat's the userspace drive for NTFS rather than the kernel one, right? I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to filesystems, but my understanding is that the tradeoff is lower performance.
- pengaru 3y agoThe kernel received a new ntfs driver relatively recently, it was kind of a big deal (in terms of drama) when it happened: https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/02/paragon_ntfs_linux_kernel/ https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/02/paragon_ntfs_linux_ke... I don't recall what, if any, relation the Paragon ntfs support has to ntfs-3g. I do recall when ntfs-3g was the new kid on the block, it was the only alternative for read-write ntfs support vs. paying Paragon software for their proprietary (at the time) kernel driver.
- saghm 3y agoYeah, that fits with what I remember. I read the parent comment talking about unreliability being about the kernel driver rather than the userspace one, so I wanted to verify if the response about ntfs-3g was even talking about the same thing or not.
