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’m surprised at using ntfs-3g these days, but one major difference is that ntfs-3g uses FUSE in userspace.

    Paragon has an in-kernel driver that is much faster, although I would expect your distro already includes it.

    You can check with something like cat /boot/config-* | grep NTFS3_FS
