Name : ntfs-3g
Product : Fedora 12
Version : 2009.11.14
Release : 2.fc12
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:
Updated to 2009.11.14 * New: Full file ownership and permissions support. The
ownership and permissions of files are interoperable with Windows and conforms
to the POSIX rules. * New: POSIX ACL support. The ACLs are an extension to
ownership and permissions as defined in POSIX. * New: Optional Windows-type
inheritance of ACLs. * New: Full extended attributes support for all
namespaces: user, system, security and trusted. * New: Junction points support.
The junction points and symbolic links created by Windows are seen as symbolic
links. * New: Access is possible to NTFS internal data like Windows style
archive bit and file attributes. They are mapped to extended attributes for
easier access. * New: Compression write support: sequential writing to
compressed files is supported. * New: Support copying and restoring encrypted
files without decrypting them. * New: Support getting and setting high-
resolution file timestamps. * New: Support to get, set and remove DOS
filenames. * New: Tools for managing ownership, permissions and ACLs: secaudit
checks the integrity of ownership, permissions and ACL, usermap gives help to
configure ownership. * Fix: Improved Windows junction and symlink handling. *
Fix: Improved ACL handling. * Change: Performance optimizations. Frequently
used data are cached to improve speed. Space allocation for fragmented and
sparse files has been improved. * Change: manual updates
