Anybody know how good the NTFS drivers in the linux kernel are? Some statements on Wikipedia leave me skittish about using NTFS-3G, I'm wondering if the kernel drivers are better or worse. ("Current versions often show 100% CPU utilization on dealing with big files on fragmented NTFS file systems." - Wiki, NTFS-3G)



I don't know how good they are now, or how accurate those statements are relative to the state of kernels today, but back in the day, the NTFS drivers were absolute shit. Though that was on relatively early 2.6 and 2.4 kernels, and I would not be surprised if the situation had improved. I haven't had a need or desire to mount NTFS (except on a windows machine) in many years.
