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

@babam, didn't tried. But I don't know in which scenario LTS users (who obviously run LTS for stability purposes) will want to apply unstable and highly experimental patches :D

@Hanabishi, Unable to build ntfs3 for Kernel 5.4 LTS?

Hanabishi commented on 2020-09-17 09:42 (UTC)

@pekmop1024, quite expected result. The patch is very recent and was made for the latest kernel version.

Seems to be not building on latest LTS kernels:

@timofonic, you are trying to build it on top of the previous version? Delete all files and build again.

timofonic commented on 2020-09-16 19:23 (UTC)

It fails again and again...

@timofonic, hmm, it's ok for me. These files are downloading from an external source, maybe they became corrupted during download, try to cleanup and build again.

Can anyone do a benchmark (Read / Write speed test) ntfs3 vs ntfs-3g.
