33 <para id='ntfs3-kernel'>
34 A new read-write driver for NTFS, called NTFS3, has been added
35 into the Linux kernel since the 5.15 release. The performance of NTFS3
36 is much better than ntfs-3g. To enable NTFS3, enable the following
37 options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel if
38 necessary:

46 </indexterm>
47
48 <para>
49 To ensure the <command>mount</command> command uses NTFS3 for
50 ntfs partitions, create a wrapper script:

53<screen role="nodump"><userinput>cat &gt;&gt; /usr/sbin/mount.ntfs &lt;&lt;"EOF" &amp;&amp;

56EOF
57chmod -v 755 /usr/sbin/mount.ntfs</userinput></screen>
58
59 <para>
60 With the kernel support available, ntfs-3g is only needed if you
61 need the utilities from it (for example, to create NTFS
62 filesystems).
63 </para>
64 </note>
65
66 <para>
67 The <application>Ntfs-3g</application> package contains a stable,
68 read-write open source driver for NTFS partitions. NTFS partitions are
69 used by most Microsoft operating systems. Ntfs-3g allows you to mount
70 NTFS partitions in read-write mode from your Linux system. It uses the
71 FUSE kernel module to be able to implement NTFS support in user space.
72 The package also contains various utilities useful for manipulating NTFS
73 partitions.
