Bug#998627: DKMS NTFS3 with original Kernel drivers
Hi,
Off the record I was starting my own DKMS NTFS3 driver for Linux
Kernels from 6.4 here: https://github.com/EasyNetDev/ntfs3-dkms
The idea is simple: use the NTFS3 driver from Linux sources and make
it as external compiled module.
But unfortunately who wants to use it, he/she must installed
manually on his system.
Also rules is auto detecting which driver versions it has as MIN and
MAX to avoid failing build for non present Kernel driver.
I'm using in parallel with ntfs-3g package:
easynet@Ryzen5900X:~/Devel/$ dpkg -l | grep
ntfs
ii libfsntfs-utils
20200921-2.1+b1
amd64 NTFS access
library -- Utilities
ii libfsntfs1t64:amd64
20200921-2.1+b1

I will try to build my own Debian / Ubuntu repo.
The idea to split ntfs-3g in 2 packages sounds very good. In this
case anybody can choose which driver wants to use.
