--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ntfs-3g
Product : Fedora 8
Version : 1.5012
Release : 3.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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Now supports unlimited file and directory creation. Adds hal fdi file to fix
automounting issues (both internal and external drives supported)
