The new "system compression" files used by Windows 10 make use of reparse points to record the compression parameters, and a specific named data stream is used to store the compressed data. With this patch, processing of reparse points can be done by an external plugin only loaded as needed. Junctions and symlinks, which are also based on reparse points, are now processed by "internal plugins".

INTRODUCTION
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The NTFS-3G driver is an open source, freely available read/write NTFS driver
|
|
for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenSolaris, QNX and Haiku. It provides
|
|
safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000,
|
|
Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 file systems.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the project is to develop, quality assurance 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.
|
|
|
|
Besides the common file system features, NTFS-3G has support for file
|
|
ownership and permissions, POSIX ACLs, junction points, extended attributes
|
|
and creating internally compressed files (parameter files in the directory
|
|
.NTFS-3G may be required to enable them). The new compressed file formats
|
|
available in Windows 10 can also be read through a plugin. For using
|
|
advanced features, please get the instructions from

|
QUICK INSTALLATION
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Linux: Make sure you have the basic development tools and the kernel includes
|
|
the FUSE kernel module. Then unpack the source tarball and type:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install # or 'sudo make install' if you aren't root.
|
|
|
|
Please note that NTFS-3G doesn't require the FUSE user space package any
|
|
more.
|
|
|
|
The list of options for building specific configurations is displayed by
|
|
typing :
|
|
|
|
./configure --help
|
|
|
|
Below are a few specific options to ./configure :
|
|
--disable-ntfsprogs : do not build the ntfsprogs tools,
|
|
--disable-plugins : disable support for plugins
|
|
--enable-posix-acls : enable support for Posix ACLs
|
|
--enable-xattr-mappings : enable system extended attributes mappings
|
|
--with-fuse=external : use external fuse (overriding Linux default)
|
|
|
|
There are also a few make targets for building parts :
|
|
make libntfs : only build the libntfs-3g library
|
|
make libs : only build libntfs-3g (and libfuse-lite, if relevant)
|
|
make drivers : only build drivers and libraries, without ntfsprogs
|
|
make ntfsprogs : only build ntfsprogs and libntfs-3g, without drivers
|
|
|
|
Non-Linux: Please see
|
|
|
|
http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/
|
|
|
|
for known OS specific installation and source packages, but generally
|
|
the same procedures apply.
|
|
|
|
USAGE
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
If there was no error during installation then the NTFS volume can be
|
|
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):
|
|
|
|
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
|
|
or
|
|
ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
|
|
|
|
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/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
|
|
|
|
|
|
TESTING WITHOUT INSTALLING
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Newer versions of ntfs-3g can be tested without installing anything and
|
|
without disturbing an existing installation. Just configure and make as
|
|
shown previously. This will create the scripts ntfs-3g and lowntfs-3g
|
|
in the src directory, which you may activate for testing :
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
then, as root :
|
|
src/ntfs-3g [-o mount-options] /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
|
|
|
|
And, to end the test, unmount the usual way :
|
|
umount /dev/sda1
|
|
|
|
|
|
