Fully Open Source NTFS Support Under Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the long-time-coming dept.

lord_rob the only on writes "The Linux NTFS project has released a beta version of its fully open source userspace (using FUSE) 3G-Linux NTFS support driver. According to the developer, this driver beats hands down other NTFS support solutions performance-wise (including commercial Paragon NTFS driver and also Captive NTFS, which is using windows ntfs.sys driver under WINE)." That's right, writing to NTFS even works. Soon it'll mean one less recovery disk to keep around, I hope.

    Windows 2003 x64 is pretty common.
    If I were dual booting a 64-bit platform that would be my Windows-OS of choice.
