Tuxera NTFS: High-performance read/write commercial kernel driver, mainly targeted for embedded devices from Tuxera, which also develops the open source NTFS-3G driver. 2. NTFS for Linux: A commercial driver with full read/write support is available as free and non-free download(s) for Desktop and Embedded Linux systems from Paragon Software Group. Which one do you mean? Not that I can really use anyone, but it is worrying that Tuxera maintains both NTFS-3G and a commercial version.
