Note: the driver was merged to the upstream kernel in 5.15. So this package is useless for Arch official kernels.
If you want bleeding edge updates, use ntfs3-dkms-git.

I made some test using bonnie and pts, this driver seems to be much faster than ntfs-3g

(disregard the read tests, since they were done from page cache)

edit: compilebench in pts, now includes native ext4, the paragon ntfs3 driver performance is comparable

In v18 the old bug still exists.

The directories created at the root of the mountpoint have 'Hidden' and 'System' attributes when accessed on Windows.

mount -t ntfs3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

mkdir /mnt/sda1/testdir

Then check the 'testdir' directory via Windows (e.g. Windows 7).

UPDATE: In v19 the old bug still exists.

@oech3, I don't think this will be a good idea. For many reasons.

oech3 commented on 2020-11-26 16:46 (UTC)

Would you add your conf for udev,udisks to ntfs3-dkms package?

@pekmop1024, idk, the driver is at very early stage. Accordig to official FAQ they are planning to publish the source on GitHub.

Yes, we plan to publish the next releases on our GitHub: https://github.com/Paragon-Software-Group

Until than I think you can reply / email directly to the code maintainer in LKML. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201106150909.1779040-1-almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com/#R

@Habanishi, is there any way to send bug reports directly to Paragon developers?

mirh commented on 2020-11-01 18:06 (UTC)

Friendly reminder: until Paragon will have released/included their own fsck you'd better not uninstall ntfs-3g.

p.s. really thanks to all the good people doing benchmarks

babam commented on 2020-10-21 09:15 (UTC)

@Hanabishi, Well, ntfs3 can't read symlinks generated in ntfs-3g, but paragon ufsd can read them.

Thank you very much.

Hanabishi commented on 2020-10-21 08:59 (UTC)

@babam, no. Because ntfs-3g creates its own fake links, which don't work in Windows either. In fact ntfs-3g driver has poor ntfs features support and just cheats in many places.
ntfs3 creates the real native ntfs symlinks which works in Windows.

@Hanabishi,

I have symlinks that were created in the past using NTFS-3G and are now using NTFS3 and can't read them as symlinks.

Are the symlinks generated in ntfs-3g readable by ntfs3?

Can you open link.zip?

Hanabishi commented on 2020-10-21 08:36 (UTC)

@babam, here https://i.ibb.co/26tJVdN/image.png
