However how relevant are those for NTFS users? Most people use NTFS forįile transfers in which case ntfs-3g read and write speed is about 15-20% User space drivers can have major disadvantages for certain workloads We will set better performance defaults in future releases. Misinterpretations, inefficient configuration and mount options (e.g. Stability, features, interoperability and portability, not for best Versions of the software gave different times for different workloads.įile system performance is a fairly complex topic. What we know for sure is, the unknowingly configured, untuned the user space ntfs-3g was about 21% faster overall than theĭoes this mean ntfs-3g is faster than ntfs3? Of course not. If this mkntfs test case is ignored, as it should be, then ntfs-3g's Incorrectly categorized as success because it interpreted the 'command not Was not found, so the test could not be run. Meanwhile the test case ran in 1 second on behalf of ntfs3 because its mkfs Had absolutely nothing to do with ntfs-3g performance, it was a pure mkfs With zeros, apparently on Google Cloud Platform, for almost 8 hours. It missed the -fast format option, so mkntfs tried to fill the 1 TB device

The testĬase configuration was not correct for mkntfs on behalf of ntfs-3g because mkfs should return an error after it hits EIO. Generic/405 test is mkfs against a 1 TB thin provision device which has 1 Neither driver was involved in that test case.
