Using NTFS on Manjaro

Support
1

Since Linux 5.15, ntfs3 provides read and write support for the file system. All officially supported kernels with versions 5.15 or newer are built with CONFIG_NTFS3_FS=m and thus support it.

Does Manjaro supports this? How to disable the ntfs-3g in the old versions of Manjaro? Can I uninstall it?

I use dual-boot and I need to use my Windows disks.

If you’re using 5.15, then yes.

You don’t have to. You simply don’t have to use it anymore. Use ntfs3 as the filesystem type for those partitions in /etc/fstab. The mount options will probably still remain the same.

Why use :duck::duck::walking_man: when the forum has a built-in search function? :smiley:

Because most members and users tend to ignore it - thus duck duck go …

nope, some ntfs-3g compatible mount options are not anymore with ntfs3, only the standard options and the ones referenced in the ntfs3 documentation will work.

This link was blocked in China. @Firestar, you are in China and need use VPN to connect with DuckDuckGo.

I find that if I uninstall ntfs-3g, the NTFS partition on my laptop can be read and write freely, but the NTFS portable hard-disk cannot be mounted. I still need ntfs-3g
