+config NTFS_FS
+        tristate "NTFS file system support"
+        select NLS
+        help
+          NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003.
+
+          Saying Y or M here enables read support.  There is partial, but
+          safe, write support available.  For write support you must also
+          say Y to "NTFS write support" below.
+
+          There are also a number of user-space tools available, called
+          ntfsprogs.  These include ntfsundelete and ntfsresize, that work
+          without NTFS support enabled in the kernel.
+
+          This is a rewrite from scratch of Linux NTFS support and replaced
+          the old NTFS code starting with Linux 2.5.11.  A backport to
+          the Linux 2.4 kernel series is separately available as a patch
+          from the project web site.
+
+          For more information see <file:Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt>
+          and <http://www.linux-ntfs.org/>.
+
+          To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
+          module will be called ntfs.
+
+          If you are not using Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 in addition to
+          Linux on your computer it is safe to say N.
+
+config NTFS_DEBUG
+        bool "NTFS debugging support"
+        depends on NTFS_FS
+        help
+          If you are experiencing any problems with the NTFS file system, say
+          Y here.  This will result in additional consistency checks to be
+          performed by the driver as well as additional debugging messages to
+          be written to the system log.  Note that debugging messages are
+          disabled by default.  To enable them, supply the option debug_msgs=1
+          at the kernel command line when booting the kernel or as an option
+          to insmod when loading the ntfs module.  Once the driver is active,
+          you can enable debugging messages by doing (as root):
+          echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug
+          Replacing the "1" with "0" would disable debug messages.
+
+          If you leave debugging messages disabled, this results in little
+          overhead, but enabling debug messages results in very significant
+          slowdown of the system.
+
+          When reporting bugs, please try to have available a full dump of
+          debugging messages while the misbehaviour was occurring.
+
+config NTFS_RW
+        bool "NTFS write support"
+        depends on NTFS_FS
+        help
+          This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver.
+
+          The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without
+          changing the file length.  No file or directory creation, deletion or
+          renaming is possible.  Note only non-resident files can be written to
+          so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot
+          be written to.
+
+          While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have
+          so far not received a single report where the driver would have
+          damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use.
+
+          Note:  While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from
+          scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS
+          write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997),
+          is not safe.
+
+          This is currently useful with TopologiLinux.  TopologiLinux is run
+          on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your
+          hard disk.  Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not
+          need its own partition.  For more information see
+          <http://topologi-linux.sourceforge.net/>
+
+          It is perfectly safe to say N here.
