[arch-general] Is ntfs module deprecated ?
Hi, After today's upgrade : * modprobe ntfs * modprobe: FATAL: Module ntfs not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.7-arch1-1 * * find /usr/lib/modules/5.10.7-arch1-1 -type f -name "*ntfs*" * <empty result> Should another module be used ? Is ntfs missing ? Deprecated ? Thanks.

the NTFS module was removed in linux 5.10.2.arch1-1, see [1].

Note that the existing NTFS_FS kernel module has limited feature-set and in general isn't recommended. There is a new module in the works - NTFS3 - which should, at least on paper, be a far better solution than NTFS_FS and ntfs-3g combined. Only time will tell, if that's really the case :-) -Emil
Installed ntfs-3g and updated accordingly in fstab. The partition is now mounted on boot; it has always been so read-only. Thanks both.
