Linux-NTFS project

About the Linux-NTFS project:

The goals of the Linux-NTFS project are to develop reliable and full feature access to NTFS by the Linux kernel driver, and by a user space filesystem (ntfsmount), and to provide a wide collection of NTFS utilities (ntfsprogs) and a developer's library (libntfs) for other GPLed programs. We have achieved already a lot, with high quality results.

How to access NTFS from Linux

Choose one of the following three options:

1) Linux has an integrated kernel driver. It allows reading of files, and rewriting existing files. It does not support creation of new files or deletion of existing files. It works out of the box in most modern Linux distributions except Redhat/Fedora. For details on how to use it, see the "How to mount NTFS" wiki page. Click here if you are a Redhat/Fedora user.

2) ntfsprogs includes an improved driver, ntfsmount, which provides the same functionality as the kernel driver. Additionally it also supports basic cases of directory, symlink, device and FIFO file creation, deletion and renaming. Note: That doesn't mean it always succeeds, it is still experimental and might just as well refuse to complete an operation in order to prevent corruption. See the ntfsmount page for more details.

3) On 07/14/2006, project member Szabolcs Szakacsits presented a new version of ntfsmount and libntfs, given the project title ntfs-3g. This version has full read/write capabilities, many bug fixes and improved performance. It has already been downloaded over 66,000 times, tested and regularly used by users with satisfaction over the last three months. Despite of that it is still a strong beta, and will upon (in some way or the other) merge also into the linux-ntfs ntfsprogs package.

The beta version of the ntfs-3g driver can be downloaded from http://www.ntfs-3g.org

Please Note: We will release stable package as soon as possible.

Quick Info:

• Newest available version of ntfsprogs is 1.13.1, released on 21.06.2006.
• Go to the "Download"-Section to download the newest version of all tools and drivers.
• Visit the Linux-NTFS Wiki for most end-user documentation (including the FAQ).

New CVS hosting

The CVS has moved to linux-ntfs.org. The new cvs server is faster and we have shell control to fix problems sooner.

Use :pserver:anonymous:cvs.linux-ntfs.org:/cvs/linux-ntfs as a cvsroot, http://www.linux-ntfs.org/cvs/vc/ for web browsing, and http://data.linux-ntfs.org/cvs-snapshots/ for snapshots.

We thank sourceforge.net and bkbits.net for the previous hostings, and Mario for the current one.

New Linux-NTFS Logo:

The logo contest is over, thanks for the many creative submissions. After a long and hard decision process, the Linux-NTFS Project has a new logo that you can see in the top-bar. Thanks to Elwin for his winning submission, and we'll get you the first Linux-NTFS T-Shirt ever. The second place goes to Tenki (his first logo from the left), and third place goes to Mariusz (his second logo from the left).

Thanks again to anyone participating in the logo contest, and congratulations to our winners! Anyone interested can still find all submitted logos on the logo contest page.
