Talk:NTFS-3G

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is so hard to install this software. Is it software? I mean, why doesn't someone make some fool proof tutorials that are up to date. Why can't there be .dmg files for everything and make it smooth. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.94.156.99 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC-7)

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

This isn't the place for you to complain about your lack of understanding of linux. -napalm22 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Napalm22 (talk • contribs) 22:59, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Some discussion of how the software integrates into the kernel or (inclusive) Linux distributions or packaging thereof would be relevant to the article, however. Epylar 21:13, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

As a FUSE module, NTFS-3G is not part of the kernel. It is, however, included in all current Linux distributions. Using it requires little more than installing the package ("apt-get install ntfs-3g" on Debian and Ubuntu) and replacing "ntfs" by "ntfs-3g" in the file type column of /etc/fstab. I yesterday tested the latest release of OpenSUSE and found that it uses ntfs-3g by default, without user intervention. I suspect that an increasing number of distros will do the same. --Johannes Rohr 21:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ntfs-3g obselete?

The ntfs-3g driver is said to be obselete at the linux-ntfs site , search their wiki for ntfs-3g. I can't post a link as the stupid captcha is refusing my answers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.163.212.195 (talk) 13:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

ntfs-3g is a separate project, a reliable derivate of the linux-ntfs driver, started by some of the old linux-ntfs developers. The linux-ntfs developers have no authority to declare the ntfs-3g project obsolete. ntfs-3g is being actively developed, it had 31 releases in the last 12 months. The linux-ntfs project had only 1 release in the last 16 months and it has serious quality problems, e.g. unpacking tar files can fail with file corruptions (try e.g. the linux kernel). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.153.135.143 (talk) 17:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IPA on Szabolcs Szakacsits

IPA on Szabolcs Szakacsits would be very much appreciated, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baka toroi (talk • contribs) 18:30, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

In English it should be something like Sabolch Sakachich (ch like in 'cheap', i like in 'it' ). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.237.8.40 (talk) 21:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Limitations - really?

The stuff listed under "limitations" doesn't read like a set of limitations, at all. It reads like a lot of advantages over other software. NPOV in consideration, the fact that lots of distros are using NTFS-3g by default suggests that it really IS about advantages, rather than limitations. Does anyone object to changing that heading to reflect this? 131.111.8.102 (talk) 16:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
