It should also noted that apparently ntfs3 does not properly support
user namespaces, such that generic/317 fails:

Is Paragon Software willing to commit to fixing these and other bugs?
Better yet, it would be nice if Paragon Software could improve its
testing and other QA processes.

Furthermore, container developers should note that ntfs3 is not
currently safe for use with containers.
