Hi,
I'm running KUbuntu 14.04LTS, and use Paragon Software's UFSD driver for read/write access to NTFS volumes at (near) native speed.
That works wonderfully well, but they support only up to the 3.14 kernel which means that until now I've been "stuck" with the 3.13 kernels.
I noticed that 3.16 and 3.19 are both available for 14.04LTS, but the UFSD driver doesn't build even with 3.16 (could be a trivial issue but with the main part of the driver distributed as a binary object I prefer not to take chances).
I'm used to building my own kernel (I run the Con Kolivas patches on top of the generic Ubuntu kernel source), so building a mainline kernel instead of code checked out with `apt-get source` doesn't make a big difference.
Does anyone know why the 3.14 and 3.15 kernels were skipped?
Thanks,
René
