-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-9476 2008-11-07 01:37:06 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ntfs-3g Product : Fedora 8 Version : 1.5012 Release : 4.fc8 URL : http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ Summary : Linux NTFS userspace driver Description : The ntfs-3g driver is an open source, GPL licensed, third generation Linux NTFS driver. It provides full read-write access to NTFS, excluding access to encrypted files, writing compressed files, changing file ownership, access right.
Technically it’s based on and a major improvement to the third generation Linux NTFS driver, ntfsmount. The improvements include functionality, quality and performance enhancements.
ntfs-3g features are being merged to ntfsmount. In the meanwhile, ntfs-3g is currently the only free, as in either speech or beer, NTFS driver for Linux that supports unlimited file creation and deletion.
