CONFIG_NTFS_FS: NTFS file system support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_NTFS_FS has multiple definitions:

NTFS file system support found in fs/ntfs3/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_NTFS_FS:

Help text

This config option is here only for backward compatibility. NTFS filesystem is now handled by the NTFS3 driver.

NTFS file system support found in fs/ntfs/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_NTFS_FS:

Help text

NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003.

Saying Y or M here enables read support. There is partial, but safe, write support available. For write support you must also say Y to "NTFS write support" below.

There are also a number of user-space tools available, called ntfsprogs. These include ntfsundelete and ntfsresize, that work without NTFS support enabled in the kernel.

This is a rewrite from scratch of Linux NTFS support and replaced the old NTFS code starting with Linux 2.5.11. A backport to the Linux 2.4 kernel series is separately available as a patch from the project web site.

For more information see Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.rst and http://www.linux-ntfs.org/.

To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ntfs.

If you are not using Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 in addition to Linux on your computer it is safe to say N.

NTFS file system support (read only) found in fs/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_NTFS_FS:

Help text

NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP. For more information see Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt. Saying Y here would allow you to read from NTFS partitions.

This file system is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called ntfs. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt.

If you are not using Windows NT/2000/XP in addition to Linux on your computer it is safe to say N.
