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. +source "fs/ntfs/Kconfig" endmenu endif # BLOCK |
