The existing Linux NTFS driver, which implementation dated back by 2001, is basically unmaintained in the kernel and lacks proper write support along with other features. There’s one more thing I really do not want to see – GitHub creates totally useless junk mergers and you should never use GitHub’s interface for any merger … GitHub is a fully capable host site and it does several other things well, but mergers are not one of those things. However, Linus Torvalds criticized the use of GitHub merge commit in Paragon Software’s download request. Konstantin Komarov, Paragon founder and CEO Hope it is good-no regression was found in the test. Most of the code has been in linux since August 13 -next branch, but there are some patches, only a few days in the linux-next branch.
The current version is suitable for normal/compressed/sparse files, and supports acl and NTFS log playback. Konstantin Komarov explained the current situation in the pull request last Friday: He pushed for inclusion of Paragon’s NTFS3, saying that it will make working with NTFS systems much easier and, of importance to the security community, will make it easier for developers to cryptographically sign software.

The last month, Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, made it known to Paragon Software that it should really submit a pull request for its read-write NTFS driver to be included in the awaited version 5.15 release, for which the merge window is still open at the time of writing this. The Paragon’s NTFS driver was merged by Linux creator Linus Torvalds earlier this month, bringing reliable read and write functionality for this filesystem to the kernel.
