4 days agoLinux is developing a new NTFS driver for kernel 7.1
Linux kernel 7.1 introduces an updated NTFS driver for improved read and write support, focusing on stability and maintainability.
NTFSplus is an unexpected development because for about four years now, the Linux kernel has contained a read-write NTFS driver. It's called ntfs3 and it appeared in kernel 5.15 back in November 2021. It's called NTFS3 because it effectively replaced the old ntfs driver, which just offered read-only support, and ntfs-3g which works via FUSE - meaning that it runs as an ordinary, unprivileged userspace program, which imposes performance and other limitations.
