NTFS support for Linux
Welcome to the Paragon NTFS for Linux free project page!
Free Paragon NTFS for Linux driver is the unmatched solution based on the unique Paragon Technology and in-depth industry knowledge. It gives your Linux full read/write access to NTFS partitions that solves a communication problem based on difference between Linux file systems and NTFS.

Mount options

SYNOPSYS
mount –t ufsd [-o options] device dir

Options Expected behavior
iocharset -o iocharset={NAME}
The NTFS file system stores all file/directory names in Unicode format which can represent any character from any language. By default, the NTFS for Linux driver converts these names to ASCII which is compatible with English filenames only. It follows that letters like a or ? will be shown incorrectly.
For this purpose you can choose either utf8 that can represent all characters (like Unicode), or your own codepage, e.g. gb2312 (Simplified Chinese), iso8859-1 (Western Europe), iso8859-2 (Central Europe), iso8859-8 (Hebrew).
quiet -o quiet
No errors appear after invoking chmods/chowns functions if a NTFS partition is mounted using this parameter. After invoking chmods/chowns functions nothing will be changed too.
nocase -o nocase
All files and directories are written with case insensitive but case preserved.
showmeta -o showmeta
Use this parameter to show all meta-files (System Files) on a mounted NTFS partition. By default, all meta-files are hidden.
noatime -o noatime
All files and directories will not update their last access time attribute if a NTFS partition is mounted with this parameter.
Note: If this parameter is not set the last access time attribute will be changed until remounting the partition. After remounting the partition, the attribute will take the value before mounting.
uid -o uid={USERID}
By default all files on a mounted NTFS volume will be owned by root. By specifying the uid parameter you can set the owner of the files. The userid can be any name from /etc/passwd, or any number representing a user id.
gid -o gid={GROUPID}
By default all the files on a mounted NTFS volume will have a group owner of root. By specifying the gid parameter you can set the group of the files. The groupid can be any name from /etc/group, or any number representing a group id.
fmask
dmask
-o fmask={VALUE}
-o dmask={VALUE}

The umask parameter changes the permissions for files and directories. fmask works on files and dmask works on directories in the same way. The effect of the options can be combined too.
umask -o umask={VALUE}
The default permissions given to a mounted NTFS volume are rwx------ (for security reasons). The umask parameter controls these permissions for files/directories.
mount –t ufsd /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs_0 –o umask=0222
Example
For example, to mount NTFS partition with full read/write access rights, please use the following command:
mount -t ufsd -o fmask=0777,dmask=0777 /dev/sd1 /mnt/WinData
