- linux-ntfs for Debian
- ---------------------
-
- This package contains:
- - ntfsfix, a tool for fixing and repairing a NTFS partition
- mounted under Linux, and force a chkdsk run on the next Windows boot.
- - mkntfs, a tool to give format to NTFS partitions.
- - ntfsinfo and ntfslabel, for showing (and setting) a lot of information
- about an NTFS partition, label or one of the files or directories
- within it.
- - ntfsresize, for resizing an NTFS partition without losing data.
- - ntfsundelete, a tool for recovering deleted files from an NTFS partition.
- - ntfscat, a tool for concatenating files and print them on the standard
- output (without actually mounting the partition).
- - ntfsls, for listing directory contents on an NTFS filesystem (without
- mounting).
- - ntfscp, for overwriting already existing files on an NTFS partition.
- - ntfsclone, an utility that efficiently clones an NTFS filesystem or
- a part of it.
-
- See the corresponding manpages for further information.
-
- Be careful. NTFS support in the Linux kernel is stable for reading,
- and kernel hackers only recommend to use it in read-only mounts. Although
- the developers have taken care of not allowing dangerous operations in the
- filesystem, havoc could occur. Ntfsprogs
- are based on public documentation in Microsoft's website and
- reverse-engineering on NTFS partitions, so don't cry if you lose all
- your nice ActiveX applets or Monkey Island saved games.
- You've been warned.
