NTFS-3G-EN

Introduction

NTFS (New Technology File System) is a powerful filesystem, included from the first windows NT versions (and then Windows XP,Vista, Seven, etc.). Differently from FAT Filesystem, the NTFS support in the kernel is limited, so it's used NTFS-3G, a third part software that allows to access the partitions also for write.

Read only

If you want to read only the filesystem (for example for avoiding damages or for creating a backup) you can use the following command:

# mkdir /mnt/windows
# mount -t ntfs /dev/xxx /mnt/windows -o ro

Read/Write

For read/write filesystem access:

# mkdir /mnt/windows
# ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows

Note

• In this example it's supposed that sda1 is the NTFS partition, but it's not always like this. For listing the partitions use:

# fdisk -l 

or

# cat /proc/partitions
