Fully Open Source NTFS Support Under Linux 310
lord_rob the only on writes "The Linux NTFS project has released a beta version of its fully open source userspace (using FUSE) 3G-Linux NTFS support driver. According to the developer, this driver beats hands down other NTFS support solutions performance-wise (including commercial Paragon NTFS driver and also Captive NTFS, which is using windows ntfs.sys driver under WINE)." That's right, writing to NTFS even works. Soon it'll mean one less recovery disk to keep around, I hope.
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. (Score:4, Funny)
Is Slashdot testing out the NTFS writing ability on their site?

It's really fast, despite being in userspace, though it can still take a while because there is so much that it needs to do. Start it before you leave work, or before you go to bed.
As a side effect, your NTFS partition will finally be free of spyware. It's the only way.

Well, you've been stealing ideas about communication - you've stolen most of the alphbet, some punctuation, even some html formatting codes, to create your post. Couldn't come up with something original? To use your own words, "You're nothing but a fucking thief!"
