Name        : ntfs-3g
Product     : Fedora 9
Version     : 2009.4.4
Release     : 1.fc9
URL         : http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
Summary     : Linux NTFS userspace driver
Description :
The ntfs-3g driver is an open source, GPL licensed, third generation
Linux NTFS driver. It provides full read-write access to NTFS, excluding
access to encrypted files, writing compressed files, changing file
ownership, access right.

Technically it’s based on and a major improvement to the third
generation Linux NTFS driver, ntfsmount. The improvements include
functionality, quality and performance enhancements.

ntfs-3g features are being merged to ntfsmount. In the meanwhile,
ntfs-3g is currently the only free, as in either speech or beer, NTFS
driver for Linux that supports unlimited file creation and deletion.

Update Information:

* Fix: Mount and system boot could hang if Linux kernel audit was enabled.  *
Fix: Volume could be potentially corrupted or the driver crashed after a partial
write or hardware error.  * Fix: The driver could crash handling highly
fragmented files.
