Name : ntfs-3g
Product : Fedora 10
Version : 2009.2.1
Release : 1.fc10
URL : http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
Summary : Linux NTFS userspace driver
Description :
The ntfs-3g driver is an open source, GPL licensed, third generation
Linux NTFS driver. It provides full read-write access to NTFS, excluding
access to encrypted files, writing compressed files, changing file
ownership, access right.
Technically it’s based on and a major improvement to the third
generation Linux NTFS driver, ntfsmount. The improvements include
functionality, quality and performance enhancements.
ntfs-3g features are being merged to ntfsmount. In the meanwhile,
ntfs-3g is currently the only free, as in either speech or beer, NTFS
driver for Linux that supports unlimited file creation and deletion.

Update Information:
Update to 2009.2.1. Changelog from upstream follows: STABLE Version 2009.2.1
(February 12, 2009) * New: The 'recover' and 'norecover' mount options were
introduced. The former option will casue the driver to recover and repair a
corrupted or inconsistent NTFS volume if it's possible. The default behaviour is
'recover'. * Fix: The driver may crashed when it tried to read a highly
fragmented file or directory which was either corrupted or it was unreadable due
to a hardware error. Upgrade is recommended. * Fix: The driver incorrectly
returned 'Permission denied' error message if a requested extended attribute
namespace wasn't supported. * Fix: The lack of file backup timestamp support
confused some applications on OS X. * Change: The user extended attribute
namespace is supported by default on Linux. * Change: A volume having unclean
journal file is recovered and mounted by default. The 'norecover' mount option
can be used to disable this behavior.
