here would allow you to read from NTFS partitions. 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.

This enables the experimental write support in the NTFS driver. 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.
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.
WARNING: Do not use this option unless you are actively developing This is currently useful with Topologi-Linux. Topologi-Linux is run
NTFS as it is currently guaranteed to be broken and you on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning
may lose all your data! your hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions Topologi-Linux does
not need its own partition. For more information see
<http://topologi-linux.sourceforge.net/>
It is strongly recommended and perfectly safe to say N here. It is perfectly safe to say N here.
