Name : ntfs-3g Product : Fedora 17 Version : 2012.1.15 Release : 5.fc17 URL : http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ Summary : Linux NTFS userspace driver Description : NTFS-3G is a stable, open source, GPL licensed, POSIX, read/write NTFS driver for Linux and many other operating systems. It provides safe handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 NTFS file systems. NTFS-3G can create, remove, rename, move files, directories, hard links, and streams; it can read and write normal and transparently compressed files, including streams and sparse files; it can handle special files like symbolic links, devices, and FIFOs, ACL, extended attributes; moreover it provides full file access right and ownership support. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Add improved versioning to ntfsprogs Obsoletes to prevent yum from self-obsoleting ntfsprogs package in every update transaction. Apply patches to ensure that if Windows 8 leaves an NTFS partition in an unsafe state, Linux will refuse to mount it (if it did, it would lead to data loss). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Oct 15 2012 Tom Callaway <[email protected]> - 2:2012.1.15-5 - Limit obsoletes to last ntfsprogs-* versions ( < 2.0.0-17 ) to minimize yum churn (where it would obsolete itself on every upgrade) BZ#863641 * Thu Oct 4 2012 Tom Callaway <[email protected]> - 2:2012.1.15-4 - add patches from upstream git to add a level of safety in the case where windows 8 leaves the NTFS filesystem in an unsafe state and Linux access could result in data loss. Basically, with these patches, Linux will refuse to mount the ntfs partition.
