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

@Hanabishi There is new xanmod out so I'll just build that. It has this driver from 3 days ago which should be new enough.

Hanabishi commented on 2021-09-04 00:46 (UTC)

@theriddick, idk for sure, but I suppose the patch is not compatible with it.

theriddick commented on 2021-09-04 00:34 (UTC)

@Hanabishi No not yet, I'm using the one in Xanmod. If I install the git DKMS will that overwrite the xanmod version?

Hanabishi commented on 2021-09-03 10:48 (UTC)

@theriddick, did you tried the latest version from git? v27 has confirmed corruption bugs. In the git version there are lot of fixes.

theriddick commented on 2021-09-03 03:46 (UTC)

I've had a few issues now with ntfs3 driver where my drives integrity would go down or something and files would go missing. I'd boot into Win10 and run a scan disk and repair the drive, and low and behold, those missing and bad files return... This is like the 3rd time its happened, its almost asif this drive is not writing data correctly to the drive.

No windows10 hibernation is set btw. So windows is not to blame for this issue (not to mention I never boot into windows lately)

@esistgut, they are still not published the utils, I guess.
By now checking NTFS in Linux is not recommended at all. ntfs-3g tools also not working well https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS-3G#Damaged_NTFS_filesystems

p.s. You can mount 'dirty' partitions via force flag. If you are sure there is no real errors and fs is just not closed gracefully. But still better use Windows chkdsk just for sure.

esistgut commented on 2021-08-14 10:51 (UTC)

After an hard reboot my system did not boot because my partition got the dirty flag and couldn't be mounted. I had to reboot on Windows to check and unflag it. The Paragon FAQs have references to Linux tools (chkNTFS and mkNTFS). Do you know how to get them?

There is now upstream git repo exist. But no new defined version released yet.
I've created ntfs3-dkms-git package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ntfs3-dkms-git/

theriddick commented on 2021-08-09 15:09 (UTC)

@Hanabishi, perhaps, I dunno. It did use to work but I had some issue recently and had to disable ntfs3 included in xanmod, and thought I'd try this dkms one.

Guess I'll just wait until 5.15+
