I recently made the full time switch to Linux (EndeavourOS), but have been using it on the side for many years. My main VC containers had been on a NTFS hard drive, and the containers themselves were formatted NTFS. I reformatted the drive as ext4, copied the containers back over, and then re-created them as exFAT. Though Linux can natively read/write NTFS these days, I know VC was using fuseblk instead of the kernel NTFS driver.

Is there a way to get VC to use the kernel driver? exFAT works ok for my needs, but NTFS is a much more robust file system. The containers must still be readable by Windows, so I can't use any of the ext Linux file systems.
