Re:NTFS read-write GPL kernel driver

(#24172950)
We have licensed this driver and the fsck-like tool.
The driver was deployed to 65,000 Ubuntu-based servers (as far as I remember), but we had a ton of issues with it, to the point that we removed it entirely and went back to NTFS-3g. We were told by paragon that we used a too-old version but at that point we had already moved on.
However, their NTFS check tool that ships with the driver (I forgot the name, but I can dog it up if anyone is interested) is actually super awesome! It is so so so much better than even the Windows chkdsk tool itself, and corrects many more issues. We use it to fix NTFS errors in millions of backup images. Can highly recommend!

Hope this helps.
