SubjectRe: [PATCH v26 00/10] NTFS read-write driver GPL implementation by Paragon Software
From
Date
Hi everyone!

I'm regular Arch-linux user and have been using your driver for a while
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ntfs3-dkms/). There are a lot of
users who tested this patch and some of them, like me, have complaints.

I faced stalling of a kthread with some ntfs functions in a stacktrace
while rsyncing one NTFS partition (SATA) to another (USB HDD)
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ntfs3-dkms/#comment-818819):

Also adding ntfs3 partition (1.4TB) to fstab makes booting much slower:
I see two lines in console (systemd version and some other line) and HDD
led constantly flickering (seems like ntfs3 is traversing entire
partition)
