CONFIG_NTFS_DEBUG: NTFS debugging support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_NTFS_DEBUG has multiple definitions:

NTFS debugging support found in fs/ntfs/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_NTFS_DEBUG:

• prompt: NTFS debugging support
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_NTFS_FS
• defined in fs/ntfs/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.29–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8

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.
