The Arch Linux project then created (3) a set of patches to backport this driver back to kernel 5.12. It is available in two flavours: a module designed to be compiled outside the Linux kernel tree, and an in-tree version (2) designed to be made by the standard Linux kernel config and build system. In August last year Paragon released (1) an open source rewrite of their decade (at least) old Linux NTFS driver. My 5.12 -> 5.10 backport patch (plus a complete unified diff with driver and backports applied).

ARCH Linux backport patches of the in-tree NTFS3 driver to kernel 5.12.Complete Linux Kernel 5.15 with Paragon's in-tree NTFS read-write driver (NTFS3).Paragon's initial announcement/release of their NTFS driver.It also contains a README with a mostly copy-and-paste set of instructions for building. See the later post in this thread for a list of platforms which are included. Further work and testing are, of course, required, but the following proof of concept works and the performance gains are not insignificant, even over the in-kernel antfs driver.ĮDIT: Reference 4 below now contains pre-built binaries for a few platforms. It is eminently doable to get Paragon's ntfs read/write (ntfs3) driver into OpenWrt today.
