NTFS support #663

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

Feature that will allow MaterialFiles to read hard drives or flash drives which are formatted in NTFS format.

I'm surprised about being asked to implement NTFS support in an Android file manager app - but this is a valid feature request. Just that I can't say it be will implemented any time soon.

This work should be done by "Linux kernel", not app, so just ask your kernel maintainer for NTFS support (if exist) Implement it in userspace will just make this app bloated.

I remember that the complete support of exfat seems to have been available in linux 5.7, and NTFS was added later in Linux 5.15. This is what I hate most about arm devices, the kernel provided by oem is too old. And backporting is too complicated and lacks generic kernel support like efi.

5.15?? Well, well have to move to that soon since Dirty Pipe is an issue now and its fixed in 5.15 (as far as I know)

我记得在linux 5.7 中似乎已经提供了对exfat 的完整支持，后来在Linux 5.15 中添加了NTFS。这是我最讨厌arm设备的地方，oem提供的内核太旧了。并且向后移植太复杂，缺乏像 efi 这样的通用内核支持。

FUSE may can be used below 5.15.
