141 | NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003. | ||
142 | |||
143 | Saying Y or M here enables read support. There is partial, but | ||
144 | safe, write support available. For write support you must also | ||
145 | say Y to "NTFS write support" below. | ||
146 | |||
147 | There are also a number of user-space tools available, called | ||
148 | ntfsprogs. These include ntfsundelete and ntfsresize, that work | ||
149 | without NTFS support enabled in the kernel. | ||
150 | |||
151 | This is a rewrite from scratch of Linux NTFS support and replaced | ||
152 | the old NTFS code starting with Linux 2.5.11. A backport to | ||
153 | the Linux 2.4 kernel series is separately available as a patch | ||
154 | from the project web site. | ||
155 | |||
156 | For more information see <file:Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt> | ||
157 | and <http://www.linux-ntfs.org/>. | ||
158 | |||
159 | To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the | ||
160 | module will be called ntfs. | ||
161 | |||
162 | If you are not using Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 in addition to | ||
163 | Linux on your computer it is safe to say N. | ||

168 | help | ||
169 | If you are experiencing any problems with the NTFS file system, say | ||
170 | Y here. This will result in additional consistency checks to be | ||
171 | performed by the driver as well as additional debugging messages to | ||
172 | be written to the system log. Note that debugging messages are | ||
173 | disabled by default. To enable them, supply the option debug_msgs=1 | ||
174 | at the kernel command line when booting the kernel or as an option | ||
175 | to insmod when loading the ntfs module. Once the driver is active, | ||
176 | you can enable debugging messages by doing (as root): | ||
177 | echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug | ||
178 | Replacing the "1" with "0" would disable debug messages. | ||
179 | |||
180 | If you leave debugging messages disabled, this results in little | ||
181 | overhead, but enabling debug messages results in very significant | ||
182 | slowdown of the system. | ||
183 | |||
184 | When reporting bugs, please try to have available a full dump of | ||
185 | debugging messages while the misbehaviour was occurring. | ||

191 | This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver. | ||
192 | |||
193 | The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without | ||
194 | changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or | ||
195 | renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to | ||
196 | so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot | ||
197 | be written to. | ||
198 | |||
199 | While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have | ||
200 | so far not received a single report where the driver would have | ||
201 | damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use. | ||
202 | |||
203 | Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from | ||
204 | scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS | ||
205 | write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997), | ||
206 | is not safe. | ||
