139 select NLS
140 help
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.

165config NTFS_DEBUG
166 bool "NTFS debugging support"
167 depends on NTFS_FS
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.
186
187config NTFS_RW
188 bool "NTFS write support"
189 depends on NTFS_FS
190 help
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.
207
208 This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux is run
209 on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your
210 hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not
211 need its own partition. For more information see
212 <http://topologi-linux.sourceforge.net/>
213
214 It is perfectly safe to say N here.
