Knoppix and NTFS Driver Version

**asjones** · 11-07-2003, 07:11 PM

Does Knoppix Kernle have the new NTFS driver patch or still use the old driver?

If it sill uses the old NTFS driver that may be a reason to Knoppix to move to the 2.6 Kernel sooner rather then later.

thanks

Does the new patch support write as well as read ? (without killing the ntfs system ?)

The new NTFS Driver does not really support writing. From their web page

"Still read-only, but with safe file overwrite support on all Windows versions without changes to the file size and if the file is over 1 kB"

However it is a better over all driver apperently.

Here is the link to the NTFS Driver page
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/

For info on the old vs new
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/st...tml#ntfsdriver

The site also has several other NTFS tools that at some point should be included in Knoppix also.
