Hello!
It looks like a new, improved in-kernel NTFS driver has been in the works for some years now, called NTFSPLUS.
NTFSPLUS has been merged into the kernel in 7.1 as just ntfs, which I think is great news for interoperability!
However, it looks like the option it depends on is disabled by default in the Fedora kernel:
$ grep -iE NTFS /boot/config-7.1.3-200.fc44.x86_64
# CONFIG_NTFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_NTFS3_FS=m
...
Are there plans to include this by default or enable it to be built as a module?
Also, it looks like at the moment ntfs is simlinked to ntfs-3g, which might get confusing in the future:
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/mount.ntfs
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Jun 2 05:30 /usr/sbin/mount.ntfs -> mount.ntfs-3g
Thanks in advance!
