I bought Microsoft NTFS for Linux by Paragon Software for a linux version of chkdsk. It also includes “ufsd” a somewhat redundant driver for reading and writing ntfs. (I already had ntfs-3g) What are the differences between ufsd and ntfs-3g?
I legit thought I had stumbled into a shittysysadmin thread for a moment.
I wonder even what’s point of buying it? And isn’t NTFS 3g is open source version created by community by reverse engineering ntfs
EDIT: if anyone need paragon tools for checking NTFS I can share them easily I extracted them from their apk which they were selling on Google play and there tools for almost any architecture x86,MIPS,arm
a linux version of chkdsk
Maybe so they can check their NTFS drives without rebooting to Windows. If it checks Linux file systems, we have fsck for that.
Correct
I do this literally every single day from my Linux machine with no issues. In fact, right before i came to lemmy, I transferred a 120GB game folder from my windows drive to my Linux one.
