INTRODUCTION
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ntfs-3g driver is an open source, freely available read/write NTFS
|
||
|
|
driver, which provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows
|
||
|
|
Server 2003 and Windows 2000 filesystems. Almost the full POSIX filesystem
|
||
|
|
functionality is supported, the major exceptions are changing the file
|
||
|
|
ownerships and the access rights.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The driver currently is in BETA status, which means that we weren't
|
||
|
|
reported and haven't found any data corruption or loss during ordinary
|
||
|
|
driver use and in our extensive quality testing before release of the
|
||
|
|
latest version of ntfs-3g, however we are aware of some usability issues
|
||
|
|
and driver restrictions which are all documented and planned to be resolved
|
||
|
|
in the future.

QUICK INSTALLATION
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure you have the basic Linux development tools and the full FUSE
|
||
|
|
package (http://fuse.sourceforge.net) is already installed correctly on
|
||
|
|
the computer. Then type:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./configure
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
make install # or 'sudo make install' if you aren't root.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
USAGE
|
||
|
|
=====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there was no error during installation then the NTFS volume can be
|
||
|
|
read-write mounted for everybody the following way (unmount the volume if
|
||
|
|
it was already mounted, and replace /dev/hda1 and /mnt/windows, if needed):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may also need to set the 'locale' option to make all files with national
|
||
|
|
characters visible. Replace the below hu_HU.utf8 with the appropriate setting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -o locale=hu_HU.utf8
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please see the ntfs-3g manual page for more options and examples.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also make NTFS to be mounted during boot by putting the below
|
||
|
|
line at the end of the /etc/fstab file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
|
||
|
