OK, that's what is referred to as the old read-only in-tree driver. It
has had experimental write support for a long time, but people still
call it "the read-only driver". Most people "in the know" seem to
advise that the write support should not be used, and many advise not
using that driver it at all. The ntfs-3g FUSE driver is usually
recommended instead.

You need that if you want to use the ntfs-3g FUSE driver.

IIRC, the ntfs-3g driver supports a number features that the old
in-tree read-only driver (which you are using) does not. The
"windows_name" option appears to be one of those.

If you want to use the windows_name option, you'll probably have to
disable the in-tree driver and use the ntfs-3g one. It might be
possible to use ntfs-3g without disabling the in-tree driver, but that
sounds like a good way to get confused...

I'm using kernel:  5.4.72-gentoo

Under:  File systems:
DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems:

   - <*> VFAT (Windows-95) fs support

It keeps telling I don't have:

Please define what you mean by "it has support for NTFS enabled".

Are you running a v5.15 kernel with the new in-tree NTFS driver?

Are you using the ntfs3g FUSE driver?

Are you using the old, read-only NTFS in-tree driver?

Yes, I thought you had this installed.  You'll need it to be able to read and 
write to NTFS.

I DO have NVME support enabled.  My main drive is "nvme"

But I think I need package: 
sys-fs/ntfs3g

Stop right there.

You need NVME Support enabled in your kernel.

I format external nvme SSD (M.2) drive as NTFS on Windows (to store some 
pictures etc.)
But when I insert the drive on Linux box (it has support for NTFS enabled) I 
get an error:

 sda: sda1 sda2
 sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
 ntfs: (device sda2): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option windows_names.

I can't see any future in trying to get Jekyll going on Gentoo, so I'm trying 
another tack: Kubuntu. Now I'm falling foul of VirtualBox, in particular its 
guest additions, which won't compile. Bug 814197 refers.

So maybe it's time to try dual-boot.
