You can use ntfsfix and any others ntfs-3g tools while using the ntfs3 driver in the kernel, Just mount your file systems with it, instead of ntfs-3g

Unfortunately this package is a duplicate of ntfs-3g with no relevant patches or changes and so it will be soon deleted.

It was already deleted in the past but you restored it again after some days

@muflone

This point of this package is that you get userspace NTFS file system tools, like ntfsfix, while using the built-in kernel driver ntfs3, which is way superior to the fuse driver.

@HurricanePootis how is this package different than ntfs-3g ? it builds the same source but removes the ntfs driver, so what is its usage?

@matthewq337 why do you want to delete this package? It does not exist anywhere else, and the ntfs-3g driver sucks ass
