NTFS for Linux 7.0 JBOD mount take hours

[kingches]

Hi

I'm trying to mount a JBOD device on RedHat 5 and it takes at least an hour to mount with the paragon driver. ntfs-3g mounts right away. What's going on?

sudo /sbin/fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

Then running

mount -t ufsd /dev/sdb1 /mnt/floppy

takes at least an hour. The device ends up mounting, but the wait is infuriating. What's going on?

Hello Kingches,

We weren't able to replicate this instance here at the US support team branch. Please open a ticket with Paragon and hopefully our Moscow Support/Developers can shed more light.

On a positive note, we recently saw release notes for NTFS for Linux 8.0 ;D
