These include ntfsundelete and ntfsresize, that work 836 without NTFS support enabled in the kernel. 837 838 This is a rewrite from scratch of Linux NTFS support and replaced 839 the old NTFS code starting with Linux 2.5.11. A backport to 840 the Linux 2.4 kernel series is separately available as a patch 841 from the project web site. 842 843 For more information see file:Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt 844 and <http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/>. 845 846 To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the 847 module will be called ntfs. 848 849 If you are not using Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 in addition to 850 Linux on your computer it is safe to say N. 851 852config NTFS_DEBUG 853 bool "NTFS debugging support" 854 depends on NTFS_FS 855 help 856 If you are experiencing any problems with the NTFS file system, say 857 Y here. This will result in additional consistency checks to be 858 performed by the driver as well as additional debugging messages to 859 be written to the system log. Note that debugging messages are 860 disabled by default. To enable them, supply the option debug_msgs=1 861 at the kernel command line when booting the kernel or as an option 862 to insmod when loading the ntfs module. Once the driver is active, 863 you can enable debugging messages by doing (as root): 864 echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug 865 Replacing the "1" with "0" would disable debug messages. 866 867 If you leave debugging messages disabled, this results in little 868 overhead, but enabling debug messages results in very significant 869 slowdown of the system. 870 871 When reporting bugs, please try to have available a full dump of 872 debugging messages while the misbehaviour was occurring. 873 874config NTFS_RW 875 bool "NTFS write support" 876 depends on NTFS_FS 877 help 878 This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver. 879 880 The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without 881 changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or 882 renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to 883 so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot 884 be written to. 885 886 While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have 887 so far not received a single report where the driver would have 888 damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use. 889 890 Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from 891 scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS 892 write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997), 893 is not safe. 894 895 This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux is run 896 on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your 897 hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not 898 need its own partition.

"Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on 914 your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when 915 you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older 916 version of the program less: you need to use more or cat. 917 918 It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives 919 information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment 920 (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer 921 that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention -- 922 often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured 923 to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some 924 information about your system gathered from the /proc file system. 925 926 Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted, 927 meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy. 928 That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc 929 /proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job. 930 931 The /proc file system is explained in the file 932 file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt and on the proc(5) manpage 933 ("man 5 proc"). 934 935 This option will enlarge your kernel by about 67 KB.

The CIFS protocol is fully supported by 1905 file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
