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.
