Early Test for New NTFS Support.."},"content":{"rendered":"

As usual, the next release of Linux includes new features, but this time – with 5.15<\/strong> – it now includes new NTFS read\/write support in the kernel.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The code for this is from Paragon<\/em>, and is already in the 5.15 codebase on git, so I decided to test it..<\/p>\n

As this was pre-RC code, it also flagged up another new kernel ‘feature’, as the kernel compile failed with a warning – and now all compile warnings are treated as errors by default.\u00a0\u00a0 Fortunately, this can be disabled by de-selecting the new ‘compile the kernel with warnings as errors<\/em><\/span><\/strong>‘ option.\u00a0\u00a0 Apart from pre-pre-release kernels, I usually see kernel compile warnings with a new major release of GCC, so the ‘disable’ feature will be useful..<\/p>\n

The new NTFS (ntfs3) options include ‘64 bits per NTFS clusters’<\/strong><\/span><\/em>, which should typically not<\/span> be selected, as it is incompatible with current releases of Windows..<\/p>\n

Some of the userland code will need to be updated to recognise ‘ntfs3’, but this can still be entered manually..<\/p>\n

After compiling the git ‘5.15-pre0<\/span><\/strong>‘ kernel and booting, I then deinstalled the old ntfs-3g software, then created an ntfs USB stick on Win10, and copied a couple of files onto it.\u00a0 Then plugged into the Linux system:<\/p>\n

Console:
\n[12083.253447] ntfs3: sdc1: ino=5, “\/” add mount option “acl” to use acl<\/span><\/strong>
\n[12083.253451] ntfs3: sdc1: ino=5, “\/” add mount option “acl” to use acl<\/span><\/strong>
\n[12083.253453] ntfs3: sdc1: ino=5, “\/” add mount option “acl” to use acl<\/span><\/strong>
\n[12083.254655] ntfs3: sdc1: ino=27, “xxxxxxxx.AVI” add mount option “acl” to use acl<\/span><\/strong>
\n[12083.254660] ntfs3: sdc1: ino=27, “xxxxxxxx.AVI” add mount option “acl” to use acl<\/span><\/strong>
\n[12083.255344] ntfs3: sdc1: ino=29, “xxxxxx.tar.xz” add mount option “acl” to use acl<\/span><\/strong>
\n[12083.255348] ntfs3: sdc1: ino=29, “xxxxxx.tar.xz” add mount option “acl” to use acl<\/span><\/strong>
\n[12083.255405] ntfs3: sdc1: ino=28, “S1200030.MP4” add mount option “acl” to use acl<\/span><\/strong>
\n[12083.255408] ntfs3: sdc1: ino=28, “S1200030.MP4” add mount option “acl” to use acl<\/span><\/strong>
\n[12083.255419] ntfs3: sdc1: ino=24, “System Volume Information” add mount option “acl” to use acl<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I then created a temporary ntfs<\/em> directory, and mounted the ntfs3 USB stick on it:<\/p>\n

[root@rg400g4 rgadsdon]# mount \/dev\/sdc1 ntfs -t ntfs3<\/span><\/strong>
\n[root@rg400g4 rgadsdon]# ls ntfs<\/span><\/strong>
\nxxxxxxxx.AVI xxxxxx.tar.xz S1200030.MP4 ‘System Volume Information’<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Copied files to\/from it, and then unmounted, and mounted back on the Win10 system, and everything worked as it should..<\/p>\n

Apart from better compatibility, the main benefit is improved performance, which will help me, when moving large 4K video clips around..<\/p>\n
