Sorry, you are correct, I was mistaken, it's been in the kernel tree [1] for over a decade. However I can't find it mentioned in the config for the Debian kernels on my machine so I'm assuming Debian don't enable it (I'm looking in /boot/config-5.10.0-11-amd64). But you say you found in in you kernel configs? [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/fs/ntfs -- Tixy
