-config NTFS_FS
- tristate "NTFS file system support"
- select NLS
- help
- NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003.
-
- Saying Y or M here enables read support. 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.
