| = Write NTFS = This page probably doesn't belong here and links to a fair bit of commerical software that does what the Linux NTFS and Captive driver do already. But it's roundup of NTFS drivers if you, ''for instance'', wanted to start reverse-engineering multiple existing implementations... ahem. '''Note:''' writing to NTFS partitions is considered experimental and at least some people think it very risky (see for example [http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81021 thread] and [http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42632 thread]). If you are going to use the software below to write to an NTFS partition, make sure you have backups first. == Linux == Read: * [http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ linux-ntfs], old Linux driver, Free source * [http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ linux-ntfs], new Linux driver, Free source * [http://www.ntfs-linux.com/features.htm Paragon NTFS for linux] demo, $0 commerical binary, method unknown Supplied as a self-extracting `.exe` containing a tarball. D'oh! (`unzip` works). Uses interface source-code + pre-compiled x86 library `libufsd.a` Write: * [http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ captive], Free source, wraps and uses `ntfs.sys` * [http://www.ntfs-linux.com/features.htm Paragon NTFS for linux], $70 commerical binary, method unknown Presumbly read-write equivalent of above. Resize: * Partition Magic / PQDisk library, commerical (PQdisk is shipped with Xandros Delux at $60) Can resize/move contents * ntfs-resize, Free source Seems to require a defragment of the disk from XP first (to move everything to the front of the disk), then it seems to adjust the bad-clusters and in-use bitmaps. * [http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/partitioning.html Acronis Partition Manager], $50 commerical binary Seems to be able to resize/move contents of NTFS == DOS == Read: * [http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/ntfsdos.shtml NTFSDos], $0 distributable binary Same functionality as the Linux driver: ''" Significant understanding of the NTFS file system layout was derived by studying the Linux-based NTFS driver code maintained by Martin von Loewis. We acknowledge his indirect contribution to this endeavor."'' * Paragon Mount Everything Personal, $40 commerical binary Write: * [http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/ntfsdospro.shtml NTFSDosPro], commerical binary, wraps `ntfs.sys` aka captive-for-dos: ''"The advantage NTFSDOS Professional has over NTFSDOS is that it relies on Microsoft's implementation of NTFS rather than our own information on the NTFS file-system layout."'' * Paragon Mount Everything Professional, $150 commerical binary == Win 9x == Read: * [http://www.diskinternals.com/products/ntfs-reader/ ntfs-reader] * [http://www.paragon-gmbh.com/f_ntfs.htm Paragon NTFS], $0 commerical binary, method unknown Write: * [http://www.paragon-gmbh.com/f_ntfs.htm Paragon NTFS], $29 commerical binary, method unknown ---- CategoryUdu |
