14 DAY TRIAL // Windows NTFS hard drives can now be mounted under linux not only for reading, but with full support to write and delete files on them.
How? Thanks to NTFS-3G, the first read-write ntfs driver under linux systems. Szakacsits Szabolcs is the main developer behind NTFS-3G and he just announced the first release of this driver.
"As part of the Linux-NTFS project, I'm happy to announce my contribution to ntfsmount and libntfs which resulted ntfs-3g, a read-write ntfs driver, capable for unlimited file creation and deletion. The driver was successfully tested very exhaustively for a longer period of time by many ways and methods, creating and destroying millions of files and directories on newly created images, and on over 40 real, very diverse NTFS images collected over the last four years."
About NTFS-3G The ntfs-3g driver is an open source, GPL licensed, third generation Linux NTFS driver for 32-bit, little-endian architectures which was implemented by the Linux-NTFS project.
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 a major improvement to the third generation Linux NTFS driver, ntfsmount. The improvements include functionality, quality and performance enhancements.
You can download NTFS-3G now from Softpedia.
