Kernel Configuration
  Linux 5.15.55 and later come with robust read/write support for NTFS
  partitions. If the ntfs3 driver has been built as a module, then it should
  appear under /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs; if built into a monolithic
  kernel, it should be listed under /proc/filesystems. Mounting and copying
  to/from an NTFS partition can be accomplished with the kernel driver alone,
  but by installing this port you get additional userspace tools for fsck,
  mkfs, wiping, and resizing NTFS partitions.

Alternative to the (probably unsafe) `chmod 4755 /usr/bin/ntfs-3g` 
  To allow ordinary users to mount NTFS partitions, you can either set ntfs-3g
  with the root user ID, or list the filesystem in /etc/fstab with the 
  rw,noauto,uid,gid options (assuming you compiled the ntfs3 driver with
  your kernel). Example /etc/fstab line:

/dev/sdb1       /media/ntfs     ntfs3      rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,noauto
