Linux-NTFS
==========

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

Linux-NTFS is copyright (c) 2000-2002 Anton Altaparmakov.

All of the contents of the Linux-NTFS project are free software, released under
the GNU General Public License and you are welcome to redistribute them under
certain conditions.
All the libraries and utilities come with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details
read the GNU General Public License to be found in the file COPYING in the main
Linux-NTFS distribution directory.
 
Linux-NTFS currently consists of the NTFS library (libntfs) and utilities
(ntfstools). In the future it will also contain a new NTFS driver for the
Linux kernel.

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 ntfstools and other foreign
open source applications. Note, that the library is still under heavy
development and doesn't include the majority of functionality yet. It only
is capable of just about supporting the current ntfstools, so I wouldn't 
recommend using it for your own applications at this stage.

NTFS utilities
==============

The ntfstools 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
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.
