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) and utilities
|
|
(ntfsprogs). 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 ntfsprogs 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 ntfsprogs, so I wouldn't
|
|
recommend using it for your own applications at this stage.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
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.
