  1. Re:NTFS Read/write support? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on 2.4 vs 2.6 Linux Kernel Shootout

    You might want to try captive.
    Though you probably wouldn't want to use it in a production enviorment or any data critical usages, I have used it for a while and everything seems to be working peachy.

    Then again, I just use WinXP for some gaming and misc...

    The Captive project uses Wine technology to natively load the Windows NTFS driver. It's not quite as good as native, but it might fit your needs.

    Reading about how they support ntfs in Captive

    It says they use ntfs.sys and even ntoskrnl.exe from your XP partition.

    Wondering if there are legal problems with this.

    Not.

    Original ntfs.sys

    This is part of the FAQ

    The program uses Linux Userland File System (LUFS) which "moves the filesystem implementation to UNIX userland where the Microsoft Windows filesystem is completely unarmed by Captive jail of chroot(2), setuid(2) and setrlimit(2)."

    I hope this answers the question.

    It is already done exactly this way: w32-mod-id.captivemodid.xml

    Now, if someone will just write a similar layer for Linux that can load Windows NT filesystem drivers, then I can get read/write access to my NTFS partitions... Hmm...

    Jan Kratchovil has some software which does exactly this: Captive-NTFS.
