NTFS3 Driver Sees Improvements In Linux 7.0 While "NTFS Remake" Driver Bakes (www.phoronix.com)

The NTFS3 driver maintained by Paragon Software for Microsoft NTFS file-systems today saw a batch of improvements merged for Linux 7.0 This comes as there is also the competing "NTFS Remake" driver that began a few months ago as the "NTFSPLUS" driver. That NTFS Remake driver isn't looking like it will be submitted for the Linux 7.0 merge window so at least for now the NTFS3 driver continues seeing improvements with the latest mainline kernel code.

Konstantin Komarov of Paragon Software today sent out the NTFS3 updates for Linux 7.0 and they have since been merged to Git. Highlights include improved readahead for bitmap initialization and large directory scans, fsync files by syncing parent inodes, implementing iomap-based file operations, delayed allocation support, and other improvements as well as a handful of bug fixes.

Judging by the amount of news headlines that I've passively read, Linux 7.0 is probably going to be HUGE

It's going to be 7 gigabytes.

I migrated a while ago full time. All my data still in ntfs, bring it on!
