NTFS performance Horrible on Proxmox 8.1 with a 6.5 kernel, but fine on 6.2 kernel

[jaminmc]

Hello, I have a USB3 drive connected to my Proxmox, and have it mounted on my Proxmox server. After upgrading to Proxmox 8.1, NTFS access became unusable. I could read and write files. But I could not read multiple files at once. I would scp files to a remote host and try to copy them to my computer through SMB. And copying them to my Mac would fail. This is a workflow I have been doing for over a year.

Now if I do a `proxmox-boot-tool kernel pin 6.2.16-20-pve` and reboot, It works fine. I am guessing that there is something up with the new kernel and NTFS-3g, or maybe even fuse? I believe that NTFS-3g still uses fuse. I tried to use the ntfs3 driver, but it is not compiled in the Proxmox kernel. It is also not in the Debian kernel either. -- Not that I would run the vanilla Debian kernel.

Here is my fatab:

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
UUID=70d4a642-REDACTED none   swap  defaults   0   0
UUID=8872REDACTED    /mnt/Storage    ntfs-3g    umask=000,allow_other    0    0

I have a folder in the NTFS drive bind mounted in my LXC container
here is the Conf file (redacted)

arch: amd64

ntfs3 should be better driver than ntfs-3g
i don't know if options
"umask=000,allow_other" are supported, perhaps need adjust.

It is not in the kernel...

Which is why I can only find instructions on how to mount NTFS drives using NTFS-3g. It would be nice if it were compiled into the kernel. I May just need to copy all the files off the drive, then just format it into ext4 if the newer kernels released are still messed up for NTFS-3g, or don't get the NTFS3 kernel support.
