Changes by: antona Update of /cvsroot/linux-ntfs/ntfs-driver-tng In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv15347 Added Files: README Log Message: Added a README on how to use the driver. --- NEW FILE --- The ntfs-driver-tng cvs module contains a new cleanroom implementation of a Linux kernel driver for the NTFS file system. To add this driver into an existing kernel tree it is easiest to have the kernel in /usr/src/linux and then do (from the tng directory): rm -rf /usr/src/linux/fs/ntfs make install-source # This creates symbolic links in your kernel sources to # the tng source so you can work on your kernel tree and # have all changes appear automagically in the cvs tree # ready for a cvs commit. cd /usr/src/linux patch -p1 < /path/to/tng/patches/linux-2.4.8-pre1-tng.diff Or whatever the latest patch in the patches directory is. Note that if you have a different kernel version, you might have to fiddle to get the patch to apply or you might just have to apply it manually. It is not big so it only takes about 5 minutes to edit the few files in vi. The do your usual kernel configuration and compilation. Then install the new kernel and reboot into it and if ntfs is compiled as module modprobe ntfs to load the driver. Now you can mount a partition and see what happens. Please send feedback to the Linux-NTFS developers mailing list <lin...@li...>. Thanks! You can enable disable DEBUG support in the driver by editing linux/fs/ntfs/Makefile and following the instruction in the comments. Anton Altaparmakov <ai...@ca...> |
