The purpose of the project is to develop, continuously quality test and
|
|
|
|
|
support a trustable, featureful and high performance solution for hardware
|
|
|
|
|
platforms and operating systems whose users need to reliably interoperate
|
|
|
|
|
with NTFS. Besides this practical goal, the project also aims to explore
|
|
|
|
|
the limits of the hybrid, kernel/user space filesystem driver approach,
|
|
|
|
|
performance, reliability and feature richness per invested effort wise.
|

QUICK INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
2009-10-14 18:22:30 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux: Make sure you have the basic development tools and the kernel includes
|
|
|
|
|
the FUSE kernel module. Then unpack the source tarball and type:
|
2006-10-31 06:32:48 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install # or 'sudo make install' if you aren't root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-10-14 18:22:30 +08:00
|
|
|
Please note that NTFS-3G doesn't require the FUSE user space package anymore.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-Linux: Please see the NTFS-3G web page for OS specific installation and
|
|
|
|
|
source packages.

USAGE
|
|
|
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
If there was no error during installation then the NTFS volume can be
|
2009-10-14 18:22:30 +08:00
|
|
|
read-write mounted for everybody the following way as the root user
|
|
|
|
|
(unmount the volume if it was already mounted, and replace /dev/sda1
|
|
|
|
|
and /mnt/windows, if needed):
|
2006-10-31 06:32:48 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2009-10-14 18:22:30 +08:00
|
|
|
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
|
2007-02-07 03:25:55 +08:00
|
|
|
or
|
2009-10-14 18:22:30 +08:00
|
|
|
ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
|
2006-10-31 06:32:48 +08:00
