ntfs-3g − Third Generation Read/Write NTFS Driver
ntfs-3g
volume mount_point [-o option[,...]]
mount −t ntfs-3g volume mount_point
[-o option[,...]]
ntfs-3g is an NTFS driver, which can create, remove, rename, move files, directories, hard links, and streams; it can read and write files, including streams and sparse files; it can handle special files like symbolic links, devices, and FIFOs; moreover it can also read and create transparently compressed files.
The volume to be mounted can be either a block device or an image file.
Access
Handling and Security
By default, files and directories are owned by the effective
user and group of the mounting process and everybody has
full read, write, execution and directory browsing
permissions. You can also assign permissions to a single
user by using the uid and/or the gid options
together with the umask, or fmask and
dmask options.
Doing so, Windows users have full access to the files created by ntfs-3g.
But, by defining a Windows-to-Linux user mapping in the file .NTFS-3G/UserMapping, you can benefit from the full ownership and permissions features as defined by Posix and those ownership and permissions will be applied to Windows users and conversely.
If ntfs-3g is set setuid-root then non-root users will be also able to mount volumes.
Windows
Filename Compatibility
NTFS supports several filename namespaces: DOS, Win32 and
POSIX. While the ntfs-3g driver handles all of them,
it always creates new files in the POSIX namespace for
maximum portability and interoperability reasons. This means
that filenames are case sensitive and all characters are
allowed except ’/’ and ’\0’. This is
perfectly legal on Windows, though some application may get
confused. If you find so then please report it to the
developer of the relevant Windows software.
Alternate
Data Streams (ADS)
NTFS stores all data in streams. Every file has exactly one
unnamed data stream and can have many named data streams.
The size of a file is the size of its unnamed data stream.
By default, ntfs-3g will only read the unnamed data
stream.
By using the options "streams_interface=windows", you will be able to read any named data streams, simply by specifying the stream’s name after a colon. For example:
cat some.mp3:artist
Named data streams act like normal files, so you can read from them, write to them and even delete them (using rm). You can list all the named data streams a file has by getting the "ntfs.streams.list" extended attribute.
Below is a
summary of the options that ntfs-3g accepts.
uid=value and gid=value
Set the owner and the group of files and directories. The values are numerical. The defaults are the uid and gid of the current process.
umask=value
Set the bitmask of the file and directory permissions that are not present. The value is given in octal. The default value is 0 which means full access to everybody.
fmask=value
Set the bitmask of the file permissions that are not present. The value is given in octal. The default value is 0 which means full access to everybody.
dmask=value
Set the bitmask of the directory permissions that are not present. The value is given in octal. The default value is 0 which means full access to everybody.
usermapping=file-name
Use file file-name as the user mapping file instead of the default .NTFS-3G/UserMapping. If file-name defines a full path, the file must be located on a partition previously mounted. If it defines a relative path, it is interpreted relative to the root of NTFS partition being mounted.
When a user mapping file is defined, the options uid=, gid=, umask=, fmask=, dmask= and dsilent= are ignored.
default_permissions
Use standard access control. This option requires either a user mapping file to be present, or the options uid= and gid= of a user to be defined. This option is set by default when a user mapping file or an ownership related option is present.
inherit
When creating a new file, set its initial ownership and protections according to inheritance rules defined in parent directory. These rules deviate from Posix specifications, but yield a better Windows compatibility. A valid user mapping file is required for this option to be effective.
|
ro |
Mount filesystem read−only. Useful if Windows is hibernated or the NTFS journal file is unclean. |
locale=value
This option can be useful when wanting a language specific locale environment. It is however discouraged as it leads to files with untranslatable chars to not be visible. Please see more information about this topic at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#locale
|
force |
Force the mounting even if the NTFS logfile is unclean. The logfile will be unconditionally cleared. Use this option with caution and for your own responsibility. |
remove_hiberfile
Unlike in case of read-only mount, the read-write mount is denied if the NTFS volume is hibernated. One needs either to resume Windows and shutdown it properly, or use this option which will remove the Windows hibernation file. Please note, this means that the saved Windows session will be completely lost. Use this option for your own responsibility.
atime, noatime, relatime
The atime option updates inode access time for each access.
The noatime option disables inode access time updates which can speed up file operations and prevent sleeping (notebook) disks spinning up too often thus saving energy and disk lifetime.
The relatime option is very similar to noatime. It updates inode access times relative to modify or change time. The access time is only updated if the previous access time was earlier than the current modify or change time. Unlike noatime this option doesn’t break applications that need to know if a file has been read since the last time it was modified. This is the default behaviour.
show_sys_files
Show the system files in directory listings. Otherwise the default behaviour is to hide the system files. Please note that even when this option is specified, "$MFT" may not be visible due to a glibc bug. Furthermore, irrespectively of show_sys_files, all files are accessible by name, for example you can always do "ls −l ’$UpCase’".
allow_other
This option overrides the security measure restricting file access to the user mounting the filesystem. This option is only allowed to root, but this restriction can be overridden by the ’user_allow_other’ option in the /etc/fuse.conf file.
max_read=value
With this option the maximum size of read operations can be set. The default is infinite. Note that the size of read requests is limited anyway to 32 pages (which is 128kbyte on i386).
|
silent |
Do nothing on chmod and chown operations, but do not return error when the user mapping file required by these operations is not defined. This option is on by default. |
no_def_opts
By default ntfs-3g acts as "silent" was passed to it, this option cancel this behaviour.
streams_interface=value
This option controls how the user can access Alternate Data Streams (ADS) or in other words, named data streams. It can be set to, one of none, windows or xattr. If the option is set to none, the user will have no access to the named data streams. If it’s set to windows, then the user can access them just like in Windows (eg. cat file:stream). If it’s set to xattr, then the named data streams are mapped to xattrs and user can manipulate them using {get,set}fattr utilities. The default is xattr.
user_xattr
Same as streams_interface=xattr.
efs_raw
This option should only be used in backup or restore situation. It changes the apparent size of files and the behavior of read and write operation so that encrypted files can be saved and restored without being decrypted. The user.ntfs.efsinfo extended attribute has also to be saved and restored for the file to be decrypted.
|
debug |
Makes ntfs-3g to not detach from terminal and print a lot of debug output from libntfs-3g and FUSE. |
no_detach
Same as above but with less debug output.
NTFS uses specific ids to record the ownership of files instead of the uid and gid used by Linux. As a consequence a mapping between the ids has to be defined for ownerships to be recorded into NTFS and recognized.
By default this mapping is fetched from the file .NTFS-3G/UserMapping located in the NTFS partition. The option usermapping= may be used to define another location.
Each line in the user mapping file defines a mapping. It is organized in three fields separated by colons. The first field identifies a uid, the second field identifies a gid and the third one identifies the corresponding NTFS id, known as a SID. The uid and the gid are optional and defining both of them for the same SID is not recommended.
If no interoperation with Windows is needed, a single default mapping with no uid and gid can be used. Just copy the example below and replace the 9 and 10-digit numbers by any number not greater than 4294967295.
::S-1-5-21-3141592653-589793238-462643383-10000
If interoperation with Windows is needed, the mapping has to be defined for each user and group known in both system, and the SIDs used by Windows has to be collected. This will lead to a user mapping file like :
john::S-1-5-21-3141592653-589793238-462643383-1008 mary::S-1-5-21-3141592653-589793238-462643383-1009 :smith:S-1-5-21-3141592653-589793238-462643383-513 ::S-1-5-21-3141592653-589793238-462643383-10000
The utility ntfs-3g.usermap may be used to create the user mapping file.
Mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/windows:
ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
or
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
Read−only mount /dev/sda5 to /home/user/mnt and make user with uid 1000 to be the owner of all files:
ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /home/user/mnt −o ro,uid=1000
/etc/fstab entry for the above:
/dev/sda5 /home/user/mnt ntfs−3g ro,uid=1000 0 0
Unmount /mnt/windows:
umount /mnt/windows
To facilitate the use of the ntfs-3g driver in scripts, an exit code is returned to give an indication of the mountability status of a volume. Value 0 means success, and all other ones mean an error. The unique error codes are documented in the ntfs-3g.probe(8) manual page.

ntfs-3g was based on and a major improvement to ntfsmount and libntfs which were written by Yura Pakhuchiy and the Linux-NTFS team. The improvements were made, the ntfs-3g project was initiated and currently led by long time Linux-NTFS team developer Szabolcs Szakacsits (szaka@tuxera.com).
Several people made heroic efforts, often over five or more years which resulted the ntfs-3g driver. Most importantly they are Anton Altaparmakov, Jean-Pierre André, Richard Russon, Szabolcs Szakacsits, Yura Pakhuchiy, Yuval Fledel, and the author of the groundbreaking FUSE filesystem development framework, Miklos Szeredi.
