Quick question, if I have my drives set to auto, will they automatically use NTFS3 when it is released on the new kernal? Thanks.
I doubt so. You’ll need a rule to mount drives with ntfs3, check the second step here:
For info on my side, now that kernel 5.15.2 has landed on Testing branch with support for ntfs3
, I changed my previous fstab
for new ntfs3
type, and it works as intended so far.
Before (just an example for the NTFS partition part):
UUID=A1B2C3E4F5G6H7 /path/to/mount1 ntfs-3g defaults,big_writes,windows_names 0 0
UUID=7H6G5F4E3C2B1A /path/to/mount2 ntfs-3g defaults,big_writes,windows_names,noauto 0 0
Now
UUID=A1B2C3E4F5G6H7 /path/to/mount1 ntfs3 defaults,noatime,uid=omano,gid=omano 0 0
UUID=7H6G5F4E3C2B1A /path/to/mount2 ntfs3 defaults,noatime,uid=omano,gid=omano,noauto 0 0
Fore reference, as usual, the documentation linux-ntfs3/ntfs3.rst at master · Paragon-Software-Group/linux-ntfs3 · GitHub
ntfs3
support all the standard options, and the ones listed in documentation (for instance it wouldn’t mount with big_writes
and windows_names
options).
I had to specify the uid
and gid
or else I wouldn’t own the partitions and content. Before I just needed to own the mount point with ntfs-3g
. Maybe there is a better way but I didn’t find issue so far doing so.
@Yochanan When is 5.15.2 expected to be available via pamac update?
It already is.
Wow that was quick. I checked a couple of hours ago and nothing to update.
@Yochanan just checked and still no update. Is this for stable or how does it work? Is 5.15.2 stable or depends which mirror do I sync from?

your mirror is?
@Lila-Kuh it’s random I guess:
Apparently you didn’t click my link and see which branches it’s available on.
@Yochanan Yes I did it’s in Stable with 5.15.rc3.210926.g5816b3e-1
but doesn’t appear the update to me.
Edit: Do I have to switch to Testing branch?
5.15.rc3.210926.g5816b3e-1 ≠ 5.15.2-2
Ok thanks. Happens that I’m on stable (I think it’s the default setting for a fresh Manjaro install). So I followed this guide and switched to testing:
I updated to 5.15.2_rt19-1 but ntfs3 is just not there
What made you think it would be available in this kernel,
as a new feature of kernel 5.15,
enabled in kernel 5.15.2?
Did you read anything in the thread or only the title?
Sorry, is 5.15.2_rt19-1 not 5.15.2?
obvious not…
rt stands for the real-time version.
I didn’t know, thank you very much
And sorry if I sounded pretentious
I also misread you message I thought you wrote a different number, I could swear you wrote 5.12xxxx_rt… I might have hallucinated.
