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 yeah I dunno; but I ran 'lsmod | grep ntfs3' to see if it was loaded and it wasn't. But I seem to have figured it out in the end anyway.

Hanabishi commented on 2021-11-02 05:26 (UTC)

@theriddick, this is strange, by default fs drivers does not require to be loaded manually. Driver loads on mount automatically, you don't need to include it on boot or run modprobe. You sure have some exotic system/kernel configuration.

@Hanabishi I fixed the issue and explained how and why it wasn't working. Just ignore me.

ntfs3 module was just not auto loading, it installed fine, but wasn't added into module load on boot.

@theriddick, maybe provide some details. I doubt that someone has oracle abilities here.

Btw 5.15 kernel was released recently. So soon all mainline kernel users will not need this package anymore.

Module installs but does not load! Just requires me to add the module ntfs3 to load on boot manually by editing mkinitcpio.conf I think.

@karu1, 189 MiB.

Also for now the package forced to download an archive with the whole kernel tree. Sorry, not found a better solution for now. If you know how to improve the packaging process, please share.

what is the download size

Hanabishi commented on 2021-10-17 06:18 (UTC)

@DDoSolitary, yeah, good point.

Please bump epoch in PKGBUILD when switching versioning scheme

New pull request was merged into the kernel upstream. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=86a44e9067c95083d5dbf5a140e3f4560e5af1ca
Seems like old versioning model has gone for sure. So the package also changed versioning accordingly.
New version contains some breaking changes in mount options list, check out new readme.
