NTFS-3G NTFS driver for Linux version 1.0 released

NTFS-3G version 1.0 is available for download now. The NTFS-3G driver is an open source NTFS driver for Linux with read and write support. It handles Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista file systems. There are distribution specific packages available, if you are interested.

To install from source, make sure that the full FUSE package is already installed. Download the source from here. Open a terminal and then type

    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install 

To mount the NTFS partition, use the following command.

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

If you want to mount the partition during the boot, type

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

Save and close. Your NTFS partition may not be hda1. In that case, replace hda1 with your NTFS parition.
