Hi, As GPLed Linux-NTFS still has no NTFS r/w capability I completed the project for reliable r/w access in Wine way by using MS-Windows ntfs.sys driver. Captive-NTFS http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ As my project needs to get ntfs.sys/ntoskrnl.exe driver(s) from possibly ext2, vfat, web/http and/or ntfs disks I wrote libntfs:// method handler using ntfsprogs libntfs to unify the driver acquiration methods by cute Gnome-VFS. It avoids dependencies on pre-compiled platform-specific Linux kernel driver. libntfs:// now allows access by Gnome-VFS aware applications such as gnomevfs-ls file:///dev/hda1#libntfs:/Windows gnome-vfs/test/test-shell cd file:///dev/hda1#libntfs:/ ls open fh some_file seek fh 42 read fh 23 as a Gnome-VFS filter driver for the universal NTFS access. Besides my specific needs for the driver files acquiration it can also serve as a general interface for debugging libntfs without the need to write specific command-line interface tools. Would you like to integrate libntfs:// Gnome-VFS method handler to 'ntfsprogs' package? Otherwise I am going to merge it to my main 'captive' NTFS implementation tree just as an captive-install-acquire(1) support component. libntfs:// CVS is accessible at: cvs -d :pserver:pserver:@cvs.jankratochvil.net:/cvs -z3 checkout ntfsprogs-gnomevfs http://cvs.jankratochvil.net/viewcvs/ntfsprogs-gnomevfs/ http://cvs.jankratochvil.net/viewcvs/ntfsprogs-gnomevfs/ntfsprogs-gnomevfs.tar.gz?tarball=1 libntfs:// source packages can be downloaded at: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/dist/ntfsprogs-gnomevfs-1.0.2.tar.gz http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/dist/ntfsprogs-gnomevfs-1.0.2-0.src.rpm libntfs:// binary prebuilt packages can be downloaded at: http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/dist/ntfsprogs-gnomevfs-1.0.2-0.i386.rpm http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/dist/ntfsprogs-gnomevfs_1.0.2_i386.deb Regards, Jan Kratochvil -- Jan Kratochvil; Captive: free R/W NTFS Filesystem; http://www.jankratochvil.net/ |
