GIO doesn't work with kernel-mode NTFS driver
Paragon Software submitted a NTFS kernel-mode driver to the mainline Linux kernel.

I've already tried this patch (AUR), manual mounting via mount
command is working. But gio mount
only works with a FUSE driver (ntfs-3g) and all software that relies on it (Nautilus, Gnome Disks, etc.) can't mount NTFS volumes.
gio: Error mounting <device> at <path>: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on <device>, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
Other GIO commands seems to be working. Obviously gio mount
strictly relies on a FUSE driver.
So now when NTFS kernel-mode driver exists (and possibly can be accepted to the mainline Linux kernel), I think the support of it should be implemented.
