ntfs driver

The ntfs driver tag covers discussions about the NTFS filesystem driver, particularly in the context of Linux kernel development. Recent threads focus on Linux 7.1, which introduced a new in-kernel NTFS implementation with write support. This is relevant for Windows users who dual-boot or use Linux alongside Windows, as it improves compatibility with NTFS-formatted drives. The tag also touches on broader kernel maintenance philosophy, including the removal of obsolete hardware support. Topics include performance, stability, and the implications for PC buyers and administrators managing mixed-OS environments.
