Overview: "ntfs-3g" is a free open-source read/write NTFS driver. It supports Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista file systems. Most POSIX file system operations are supported. File owner- ship and permission-related operations are under development. The driver is believed to be stable. Information about the test suites used and related testimonials can be found at: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/quality.html News, support and discussion forums, and other resources are available on the project web site at: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ Usage: To mount NTFS volumes read-write for everybody, use commands similar to the following: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows or ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows Important: If the volumes are already mounted, unmount them first. Additionally, replace "/dev/sda1" and "/mnt/windows" with the appro- priate paths. If your Operating System vendor didn't set up language specific set- tings, then you may need to set the "locale" mount option to make filenames with special characters visible. Replace "en_US.UTF-8" be- low with the appropriate string. You can find more information about this subject at "http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#locale". mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -o locale=en_US.UTF-8 You can mount an NTFS partition at "boot" time by adding a line simi- lar to the following at the end of the standard "/etc/fstab" file: /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 For more information, execute "man ntfs-3g".
