Ich habe da keine Erfahrung mit NTFS, aber warum wird der Kerneltreiber immer noch als Beta angesehen ?
Die Treiber im Kernel laufen meist schneller als im Userspace. Ich würde auf jeden Fall den Kerneltreiber bevorzugen.
2.6.18er Linuxkernel:
─────────────────────────────────────── NTFS file system support ────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ CONFIG_NTFS_FS: │
│ │
│ NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003. │
│ │
│ Saying Y or M here enables read support. There is partial, but │
│ safe, write support available. For write support you must also │
│ say Y to "NTFS write support" below. │
│ │
│ There are also a number of user-space tools available, called │
│ ntfsprogs. These include ntfsundelete and ntfsresize, that work │
│ without NTFS support enabled in the kernel. │
│ │
│ This is a rewrite from scratch of Linux NTFS support and replaced │
│ the old NTFS code starting with Linux 2.5.11. A backport to │
│ the Linux 2.4 kernel series is separately available as a patch │
│ from the project web site. │
│ │
│ For more information see file:Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt │
│ and http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/. │
│ │
│ To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the │
│ module will be called ntfs. │
│ │
│ If you are not using Windows NT, 2000, XP or 2003 in addition to │
│ Linux on your computer it is safe to say N.
NTFS Write Support:
This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver. │
│ │
│ The only supported operation is overwriting existing files, without │
│ changing the file length. No file or directory creation, deletion or │
│ renaming is possible. Note only non-resident files can be written to │
│ so you may find that some very small files ( │ be written to. │
│ │
│ While we cannot guarantee that it will not damage any data, we have │
│ so far not received a single report where the driver would have │
│ damaged someones data so we assume it is perfectly safe to use. │
│ │
│ Note: While write support is safe in this version (a rewrite from │
│ scratch of the NTFS support), it should be noted that the old NTFS │
│ write support, included in Linux 2.5.10 and before (since 1997), │
│ is not safe. │
│ │
│ This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux is run │
│ on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your │
│ hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not │
│ need its own partition. For more information see │
│ http://topologi-linux.sourceforge.net/ │
│ │
│ It is perfectly safe to say N here.
Der Treiber im Linuxkernel scheint noch nicht richtig zu funktionieren, irgendwie.
