Hi Namjae, I built your new driver (as DKMS) and I'm using it and it went smooth so far. Thanks for this good driver (and also really practical userspace tools) but something in dmesg caught my eye:

Shouldn't pr_info() messages have "ntfsplus: " prefix? I mean most drivers do so and it is weird to me to have something like this:

[ 5.431662] volume version 3.1, dev sda3, cluster size 4096
[ 5.444801] volume version 3.1, dev sdb1, cluster size 4096

instead of this:

[ 5.431662] ntfsplus: volume version 3.1, dev sda3, cluster size 4096
[ 5.444801] ntfsplus: volume version 3.1, dev sdb1, cluster size 4096

in my dmesg. What do you think? It wouldn't be better to include "ntfsplus: " prefix for pr_info messages?

Best Regards
