Add support for the new NTFS3 kernel module #8564
Comments
It does not make any sense why Microsoft isn't enabling NTFS in the kernel configuration, I needed this feature badly myself, so I built a custom kernel with those flags enabled: |
I support adding NTFS3 feature and merge this change of NTFS3 which is on Linux 6.2 (not 6.1 LTS) Paragon-Software-Group/linux-ntfs3@1d07a9d |
This would be super helpful to work around the massive file system performance issues of wsl2: We could create an NTFS VHDX which could be mounted into WSL, but it could also be easily mounted from the host, e.g. to inspect or extract files. I guess it can only be mounted by either WSL or host, but that does not matter. |
do you have any step-by-step to making this working in WSL2? I see that the latest custom kernel from WSL is 6.1 |

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I'd like faster access to Windows directories via the new NTFS3 kernel module.
NTFS3 allows reading and writing of NTFS partitions, thus quite suitable as an alternative to drvfs.
CONFIG_NTFS3_FS=y

Enable it myself and build my own custom kernel. Not the way to go for this particular kernel config option. MSFT should enable it for everyone.
Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
It's already getting included by other linux distros and is an alternative to NTFS-3G (which I think should also be enabled).
