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. - *system.ntfs_attrib_be* gets/sets ntfs file/dir attributes. Same value as system.ntfs_attrib but always represent as big-endian (endianness of system.ntfs_attrib is the same as of the CPU). 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= * - 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. * - hide_dot_files - Updates the Windows-specific HIDDEN (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN) attribute when creating and moving or renaming files. Files whose names start with a dot will have the HIDDEN attribute set and files whose names do not start with a dot will have it unset. * - windows_names - Prevents the creation of files and directories with a name not allowed by Windows, either because it contains some not allowed character (which are the characters " * / : < > ? \\ | and those whose code is less than 0x20), because the name (with or without extension) is a reserved file name (CON, AUX, NUL, PRN, LPT1-9, COM1-9) or because the last character is a space or a dot. Existing such files can still be read and renamed. * - 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 effective as JBD would be.
