64 Bit architecture support
Supported NTFS features (see also "limitations")
- NTFS versions 1.2, 3.0 and 3.1 (Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista/Windows 7)
- compressed files (NTFS)
- sparse files support (NTFS)
Supported HFS/HFSX features (see also "limitations")

No system degradation during data transfer
Support for SMP kernels (multiprocessor systems)
High performance — transfer rate is the same as for native File systems
There is no limitation to maximum file and volume size (within the kernel and NTFS or HFS+/HFSX limitations)

Additional Utilities:

mkntfs — formats any partition as NTFS under Linux;
chkntfs — checks NTFS partitions for integrity and fixes errors;
dfntfs — defragments NTFS volumes
cpntfs—simple and fast Paragon NTFS for Linux backup/restore utility that allows to copy and restore files and directories to/from/between NTFS partitions under Linux OS. The utility can be useful to make backups of NTFS file system and restore it later on the same or a newly formatted NTFS partition.
infntfs — displays NTFS version, free/used disk space information, NTFS volume label, dirty flag, serial number and allows to change them.
fsutil — Linux analogue of Microsoft’s fsutil for Windows —performs many NTFS related tasks, such as managing file system information, additional streams, compression, hardlinks etc.
wipe — irreversibly deletes sensitive data from NTFS/FAT volumes
mftpack — allows to pack/truncate MFT (MasterFileTable) on NTFS volumes
hdlnk — allows to enumerate all hard links on NTFS volumes
junction —allows to show reparse points on a NTFS volumes
mkfat — formats partition as FAT under Linux
extents — traces files/folders extens
svntfs — fragments free space and files on NTFS partition
mkhfs — formats any partition as HFS+ under Linux
chkhfs —check HFS+/HFSX partition integrity and fix errors

Limitations:

NTFS features:

Encrypted files cannot be decrypted. Body of a file will be copied encrypted with loss of decryption capability. Cpntfs utility can be used to copy encrypted files while preserving capability to decrypt them later.
Attributes to be lost:
- when copying from NTFS to Linux FS: NTFS alternate streams will not be copied, along with compression flag and security attributes (use the cpntfs utility to preserve these attributes — available in Professional Edition)
- when copying from Linux FS to NTFS: all security attributes (access rights and ownership) will be lost
Hardlinks and symlinks: any link will be copied as a full file with its body while losing link information
HFS+/HFSX features:
alternate data streams (forks) are not supported.
extended attributes are not supported.

_{*Complimentary support provides installation assistance and free support for 60 consecutive calendar days starting from your Paragon software and license date of purchase. Support requests are to be submitted via Paragon Web site only.}
