Contributed by Erik Sornes. No side-effect for v1.2 NTFS which is still the default. The implementation needs some minor work: see e.g. the chkdsk messages and the result of ntfscmp'ing the two images. |

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) 2000-2005 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. Note that while the GNU General Public License is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, the instances of code that it refers to (the Linux-NTFS project, including the ntfsprogs package containing the NTFS library (libntfs) and the NTFS utilities (ntfsprogs) and the Linux kernel NTFS driver are copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote them. The Linux-NTFS ntfsprogs package currently consists of the NTFS library (libntfs), the NTFS Gnome VFS module (libntfs-gnomevfs), and various utilities (ntfsprogs). The Linux-NTFS home page is at: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ The SourceForge.net Linux-NTFS project page is at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-ntfs/ The latest Linux-NTFS source code is available from our CVS repositories which can be found on our SourceForge.net project page. 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: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-ntfs-announce Quick Installation ================== If you obtained the source code from CVS all the autogenerated files will be missing. To generate them you will need the autoconf, automake, and libtool packages installed and you will need to run: ./autogen.sh If you obtained the source code from the tar ball or from a source package like the .src.rpm for example, in most cases it should be sufficient to do: ./configure make make install <-- You usually need to be root for this one. The above will compile and install the NTFS library and utility programs into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin respectively. The man pages will be installed by default in /usr/local/man. For more detailed installation instructions, please read the file INSTALL. Note, if you want to enable the additional debugging checks in the code as well as the output of debugging information, which will be emitted to stdout, you need to specify the `--enable-debug' option to `configure'. 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 old 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. ntfscp - Overwrite files on an NTFS partition. ntfsmount - Mount an NTFS partition from user-space using libntfs and FUSE.
