Requirements
======================================================
MorphOS 3.2 or higher.
Installation
======================================================
From the binary archive:
L/NTFileSystem3G should be placed in L:
C/MKNTFS should be placed in C:
C/NTFSLabel should be placed in C:
C/NTFSFix should be placed in C:
Docs/NTFS3G.readme should be placed in Sys:Docs/
Docs/NTFS3G_Copying.readme should be placed in Sys:Docs/
Features
======================================================
o Read and write support.
o Supports large partitions.
o Supports large files.
o Notification, (removable) mount/unmount, soft/hard links.
Known issues
======================================================
o Case sensitive. The highlevel FUSE API version
of NTFS-3G does not support ignore_case option,
but maybe there could be ways to do it later.
This means some MorphOS applications will fail
as they try to load files with different case
compared to what is on disk.
o It seems NTFS3G does not use real journalling.
In case of power failure/crash volume may become
corrupted. There is no repair program available,
except on Windows, afaik.
o Protection bits will always be RWED for all files.
o No file comments.
Usage
======================================================
NTFileSystem3G works like a normal MorphOS filesystem,
except it does not support being placed in the RDB.
So either mountlist is used, or MorphOS is set up
to automatically mount volumes when inserted
(use System settings / Mount).
When using NTFS-3G with removabvle USB media, it may be
needed to delete the Poseidon preferences file first,
from envarc:sys/poseidon.prefs (reboot after).
Automatic mounting
======================================================
Example System settings / Mount options:
--------------------------
MBR Type: 7
Filesystem ID: 0x4E544653
Driver: L:NTFileSystem3G
Buffers: 32
Mountpriority: 5
Control: noatime
---------------------------
Additionally, under MorphOS 3.x, Edit
Sys:Prefs/Env-Archive/sys/filesystems.conf
Change the line
DosType=0x4e544653 Filesystem="L:NTFileSystem" Name="NTFS"
Into
DosType=0x4e544653 Filesystem="L:NTFileSystem3G" Name="NTFS"
Manual mounting
======================================================
Example mountlist options:
-----------------------
Device = sata.device
Unit = 2
Handler = L:NTFileSystem3G
SectorSize = 512
SectorsPerBlock = 1
Surfaces = 21
BlocksPerTrack = 512
LowCyl = 1
HighCyl = 56
Reserved = 2
PreAlloc = 0
Interleave = 0
Buffers = 100
DosType = 0x4E544653
Priority = 5
Mount = 1
Control = "noatime"
--------------------------
Mounting notes
======================================================
The "noatime" parameter is recommended as it avoids
NTFS writing down access timestamps to disk all the time.
Formatting
======================================================
To format, use the included port of MKNTFS.
Example:
> MKNTFS SH0 -L MyVolume -Q
Release history
