Duplicate of 10-years-old outstanding patch at [1]. I'm not speaking of the patch itself but rather on unfortunate state of ntfs subsystem. It seems like the maintainer is MIA (has not responding to patch submissions for a long time). Some trivial patches, however, are merged through mm tree. Konstantin (from newer ntfs3 subsystem), Andrew, would you like to take a look on this orphaned subsystem (and help reviewing)? I'd like to send MAINTAINERS update if it turns out to be the case. Thanks. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/1358389709-20561-1-git-send-email-nickolai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ -- An old man doll... just what I always wanted! - Clara
