NTFSPLUS Now Supports $MFT File Extension, FITRIM, More Mount Options

The NTFSPLUS Linux kernel driver as a modern NTFS file-system driver implementation continues quickly taking shape as it aims to become the most performant and feature-rich NTFS read/write driver for Linux systems.

It was just one month ago that NTFSPLUS was announced by veteran Linux storage/file-system developer Namjae Jeon. Since then Namjae Jeon has been quickly working on addressing remaining gaps in NTFSPLUS compared to Paragon's NTFS3 driver and other NTFS driver alternatives.

Earlier this week I wrote about NTFSPLUS continuing to develop and "v2" patches in an "ntfs-next" Git branch. It remains to be seen how quickly Namjae Jeon will try to get NTFSPLUS in the mainline Linux kernel tree, but he has now announced the v2 iteration of NTFSPLUS and outlined its new features and capabilities.
