-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-1619 2009-02-13 03:20:49 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ntfs-3g Product : Fedora 10 Version : 2009.2.1 Release : 1.fc10 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: Update to 2009.2.1. Changelog from upstream follows: STABLE Version 2009.2.1 (February 12, 2009) * New: The 'recover' and 'norecover' mount options were introduced. The former option will casue the driver to recover and repair a corrupted or inconsistent NTFS volume if it's possible. The default behaviour is 'recover'. * Fix: The driver may crashed when it tried to read a highly fragmented file or directory which was either corrupted or it was unreadable due to a hardware error. Upgrade is recommended. * Fix: The driver incorrectly returned 'Permission denied' error message if a requested extended attribute namespace wasn't supported. * Fix: The lack of file backup timestamp support confused some applications on OS X. * Change: The user extended attribute namespace is supported by default on Linux. * Change: A volume having unclean journal file is recovered and mounted by default. The 'norecover' mount option can be used to disable this behavior. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Feb 12 2009 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcall...@redhat.com> - 2:2009.2.1-1 - update to 2009.2.1 * Fri Jan 30 2009 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcall...@redhat.com> - 2:2009.1.1-1 - new release, new versioning scheme from upstream * Thu Jan 8 2009 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcall...@redhat.com> - 2:1.5222-0.2.RC - move pkgconfig Requires to -devel package where it belongs * Mon Dec 22 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcall...@redhat.com> - 2:1.5222-0.1.RC - 1.5222-RC * Tue Dec 2 2008 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcall...@redhat.com> - 2:1.5130-1 - update to 1.5130 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
