Linux-NTFS
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The Linux-NTFS project aims to bring full support for the NTFS filesystem to
|
|
the Linux operating system.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Linux-NTFS currently consists of the NTFS library (libntfs), the NTFS Gnome VFS
|
|
module (libntfs-gnomevfs) and various utilities (ntfsprogs).
|
|
|
|
The Linux-NTFS project is registered on Sourceforge.net. The home page for
|
|
Linux-NTFS is http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/ and the project page is:
|
|
http://sf.net/projects/linux-ntfs/
|
|
|
|
If you would like to take part in the development of Linux-NTFS, you are
|
|
invited to subscribe to the development mailing list,
|
|
linux-ntfs-dev@lists.sourceforge.net. The easiest way to do this is to visit
|
|
the list page on sourceforge at:
|
|
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-ntfs-dev
|
|
|
|
If you would like to be kept up to date about new releases and other Linux-NTFS
|
|
announcements, subscribe to the linux-ntfs-announce mailing list (very low
|
|
volume). The easiest way to do this is to visit the list page on sourceforge at:

NTFS library
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Provides common NTFS access functions to the ntfsprogs and other foreign
|
|
open source applications. Note, that the library is still under development and
|
|
a lot of functionality is not yet included.
|
|
|
|
NTFS Gnome VFS module
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The Gnome virtual filesystem provides universal access to diffent filesystems.
|
|
This modules enables Gnome VFS clients to seamlessly utilize the NTFS library.
|
|
For further details and examples of how to make use of the NTFS Gnome VFS
|
|
module in practice see man 8 libntfs-gnomevfs.
|
|
|
|
NTFS utilities
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The ntfsprogs will eventually include utilities for doing all required tasks
|
|
to NTFS partitions. In general, just run a utility without any command line
|
|
options to display the version number and usage syntax.
|
|
|
|
The following utilities are so far implemented:
|
|
|
|
NtfsFix - Attempt to fix an NTFS partition that has been damaged by the Linux
|
|
NTFS driver. Note that you should run it every time after you have used the old
|
|
Linux NTFS driver to write to an NTFS partition to prevent massive data
|
|
corruption from happening when Windows mounts the partition.
|
|
IMPORTANT: Run this only *after* unmounting the partition in Linux but *before*
|
|
rebooting into Windows NT/2000 or you *will* suffer! - You have been warned!
|
|
See man 8 ntfsfix for details.
|
|
|
|
mkntfs - Format a partition with the NTFS filesystem. See man 8 mkntfs for
|
|
command line options.
|
|
|
|
ntfslabel - Display/change the label of an NTFS partition. See man 8 ntfslabel
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
ntfsundelete - Recover deleted files from an NTFS volume. See man 8
|
|
ntfsundelete for more details.
|
|
|
|
ntfsresize - Resize NTFS volumes. See man 8 ntfsresize for details.
|
|
|
|
ntfsclone - Efficiently create/restore an image of an NTFS partition. See
|
|
man 8 ntfsclone for details.
|
|
|
|
ntfscluster - Locate the owner of any given sector or cluster on an NTFS
|
|
partition. See man 8 ntfscluster for details.
|
|
|
|
ntfsinfo - Show some information about an NTFS partition or one of the files
|
|
or directories within it. See man 8 ntfsinfo for details.
|
|
|
|
ntfsls - List information about files in a directory residing on an NTFS
|
|
partition. See man 8 ntfsls for details.
|
|
|
|
ntfscat - Concatenate files and print their contents on the standard output.
