-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-3081 2009-03-27 14:10:19 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ntfs-3g Product : Fedora 9 Version : 2009.3.8 Release : 1.fc9 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:
Updated to 2009.3.8, fixes from upstream changelog: * Fix: Some defragmenters reported NTFS-3G created directories unmovable. * Fix: The Windows NTFS file system checker, CHKDSK, may reported "free space marked as allocated in the master file table (MFT) bitmap". * Fix: The driver may returned "No space left on device" error when there was still free space on the NTFS volume. * Change: 10-50% faster file and directory creation, removal, copy, unpackaging performance. * Change: 500-1000% faster mount time. This is mostly noticable on multi-TB volumes and embedded devices. * Change: Improved multi-cluster allocation, non-aligned file write performance. * Change: Improved volume consistency and recovery if the storage device was unsafely detached or powered down. * Change: Less disk space usage. * New: The version/-V command line option has been added. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
