Have you tried to install it as an overlayed RPM with rpm-ostree install? Are there any issues with this setup?

Is this something that we need to do @naheemsays? Didn't the in-kernel NTFS driver get some improvements lately?

AFAIK there is work on a new kernel NTFS driver, but it hasnt been mainlined yet.

Testing with an NTFS formatted flash drive from Windows 10, it seems to be read and mounted properly in Silverblue. However the filesystem is shown as fuse - which I think means it is using ntfs-3g. I dont know how it is being pulled in.

When I created the issue I was dual booting and at that time I could read but not write to the Windows Partition, which is a limitation of the current kernel driver though this will be alleviated when the new kernel driver is mainlined: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/3/15/1763

@naheemsays and is ntfs-3g installed? I can actually answer myself - yes, it is.

If it's pulled in anyway, we might want to remove it from the denylist. @siosm is ntfs-3g part of the Kionite default installation?

It's already included in Kinoite and all the builds I'm doing right now so this is a resolved issue. We can remove it from the denylist as it is most probably pulled by another package.

Will do that and update my existing PRs.
