NTFSPLUS Announced: A New Linux Driver For NTFS With Better Performance, More Features (www.phoronix.com)

Well this wasn't on my bingo card for 2025... There is now yet another NTFS file-system driver for Linux. There's long been the read-only NTFS driver in the Linux kernel, the more capable NTFS FUSE driver in user-space, and then in recent years the NTFS3 driver that was upstreamed to the Linux kernel by Paragon Software. NTFS3 offers read/write support and other improvements over the prior kernel driver. Now there is "NTFSPLUS" as a new driver with read/write support and claiming to offer better performance and features than NTFS3.

Damn, I hadn't seen the community name before reading the title and thought Microsoft was fixing up their filesystem. Of course, there's more development happening on the non-Microsoft side.

and thought Microsoft was fixing up their filesystem.

NTFS now comes with Copilot integrated, automatically placing your files where you will never find them again.

I thought all my files were already uploaded to Onedrive?

Oh boy, what an idea. Copilot indexes the files for a in-text and metadata search. And automatically checks it it contains some signatures of known malware. And handles the defragmentation of files. Sure you can disable it, but if you do not enable Copilot, then your filesytem becomes a mess, as nothing in the Microsoft eco system would work as expected without it. Note: This is just fan fiction, Copilot doesn't do that... yet.
