SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +===== +NTFS3 +===== + +Summary and Features +==================== + +NTFS3 is fully functional NTFS Read-Write driver. The driver works with NTFS +versions up to 3.1. File system type to use on mount is *ntfs3*. + +- This driver implements NTFS read/write support for normal, sparse and + compressed files. +- Supports native journal replaying. +- Supports NFS export of mounted NTFS volumes. +- Supports extended attributes. Predefined extended attributes: + + - *system.ntfs_security* gets/sets security + + Descriptor: SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_RELATIVE + + - *system.ntfs_attrib* gets/sets ntfs file/dir attributes. + + Note: Applied to empty files, this allows to switch type between + sparse(0x200), compressed(0x800) and normal. + +Mount Options +============= + +The list below describes mount options supported by NTFS3 driver in addition to +generic ones. You can use every mount option with **no** option. If it is in +this table marked with no it means default is without **no**. + +.. flat-table:: + :widths: 1 5 + :fill-cells: + + * - iocharset=name + - This option informs the driver how to interpret path strings and + translate them to Unicode and back. If this option is not set, the + default codepage will be used (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT). + + Example: iocharset=utf8 + + * - uid= + - :rspan:`1` + * - gid= + + * - umask= + - Controls the default permissions for files/directories created after + the NTFS volume is mounted. + + * - dmask= + - :rspan:`1` Instead of specifying umask which applies both to files and + directories, fmask applies only to files and dmask only to directories. + * - fmask= + + * - noacsrules + - "No access rules" mount option sets access rights for files/folders to + 777 and owner/group to root. This mount option absorbs all other + permissions. + + - Permissions change for files/folders will be reported as successful, + but they will remain 777. + + - Owner/group change will be reported as successful, butthey will stay + as root. + + * - nohidden + - Files with the Windows-specific HIDDEN (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN) attribute + will not be shown under Linux. + + * - sys_immutable + - Files with the Windows-specific SYSTEM (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM) attribute + will be marked as system immutable files. + + * - discard + - Enable support of the TRIM command for improved performance on delete + operations, which is recommended for use with the solid-state drives + (SSD). + + * - force + - Forces the driver to mount partitions even if volume is marked dirty. + Not recommended for use. + + * - sparse + - Create new files as sparse. + + * - showmeta + - Use this parameter to show all meta-files (System Files) on a mounted + NTFS partition. By default, all meta-files are hidden. + + * - prealloc + - Preallocate space for files excessively when file size is increasing on + writes. Decreases fragmentation in case of parallel write operations to + different files. + + * - acl + - Support POSIX ACLs (Access Control Lists). Effective if supported by + Kernel. Not to be confused with NTFS ACLs. The option specified as acl + enables support for POSIX ACLs. + +Todo list +========= +- Full journaling support over JBD. Currently journal replaying is supported + which is not necessarily as effectice as JBD would be. + +References +========== +- Commercial version of the NTFS driver for Linux. + https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-linux-professional/ + +- Direct e-mail address for feedback and requests on the NTFS3 implementation. + almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com -- cgit v1.2.3
