Episode 48 of The Linux Podcast explores how Paragon Software's NTFS3 driver, now in the Linux kernel, gives Linux native read-write access to Windows NTFS drives without the performance penalties of the older FUSE-based ntfs-3g. Lucas and Luna dive into the history of Linux filesystem interoperability, why the VFS layer makes driver integration possible, and how NTFS3's direct kernel implementation cuts CPU overhead and improves reliability for dual-booters and server migrations. They also compare NTFS3 with Microsoft's own NTFS implementation to understand where Linux still has tradeoffs.
