-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-1310 2009-02-05 01:17:23 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ntfs-3g Product : Fedora 10 Version : 2009.1.1 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 to stable release 2009.1.1: STABLE Version 2009.1.1 (January 22, 2009) -- Release Notes * New: Built-in, transparent UTF-8 conversion support. This solves many previous locale related problems and even more with hidden and inaccessible filenames having national characters. * New: Support getting/setting the file creation timestamp on OS X. * Fix: An extended attribute got corrupted if the new attribute size was smaller than the original size. * Fix: Memory leaked if an extended attribute or alternate data stream couldn't be opened. * Fix: Report an error if a filename can not be listed during reading a directory. * Change: The 'locale=' mount option is not used anymore for filename characterset conversion. Instead filenames are always converted to UTF-8. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
