Full Features
Key features
-
Full read-write access. Unlike most of competing drivers where you can only read files from NTFS volumes, here you can also write - modify existing files, delete files, create or copy new files.
-
Mount any NTFS volume like any native one, even including into fstab (to automount at each Linux startup)
-
The 64 bit architecture support
-
Linux kernels 2.4.x, 2.6.x support
-
Supporting NTFS features (see also 'Limitations'):- NTFS versions 1.2, 3.0 and 3.1 (Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista)- compressed files- files and folders with security permissions - sparse files support (NTFS)
-
File and folder names in national languages (you can pass filesystem codepage name to driver), including Asian (hieroglyphic) languages
-
Easy installation - a script file is available which can build driver, install it, automatically mount all local NTFS volumes and place them into fstab to automount them at Linux startup
-
No system degradation during data transfers
-
Support for SMP kernels (multiprocessor systems)
-
High performance. Transfer rate is the same as for native filesystems (10-15% performance loss could occur for highly fragmented NTFS volumes)
-
There is no any limitation to maximum file size (but within kernel and NTFS limitations)
Limitations
-
NTFS features: encrypted files not supported. Body of a file will be copied encrypted with loss of decryption capability. To make full archive the cpntfs utility can be used, available in the Professional Edition only.
-
Attributes to be lost:- when copying from NTFS to Linux FS: all streams will not be copied, along with compression flag and security attributes (use the cpntfs utility* )- 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, losing link information
