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. ***** This is what is known as "forcing the issue". The NTFS functionality has been shipped in source code format as part of Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core for several YEARS. The kernel, which shipped this code, is under the protection of the Open Inventions Network. Add all of that together, and NTFS should be safe for Fedora. This package actually works very well, and provides extremely valuable functionality for dual boot users, and users weaning off other OSes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
