-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-3074 2009-03-27 14:10:09 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ntfs-3g Product : Fedora 10 Version : 2009.3.8 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: Updated to 2009.3.8, fixes from upstream changelog: * Fix: Some defragmenters reported NTFS-3G created directories unmovable. * Fix: The Windows NTFS file system checker, CHKDSK, may reported "free space marked as allocated in the master file table (MFT) bitmap". * Fix: The driver may returned "No space left on device" error when there was still free space on the NTFS volume. * Change: 10-50% faster file and directory creation, removal, copy, unpackaging performance. * Change: 500-1000% faster mount time. This is mostly noticable on multi-TB volumes and embedded devices. * Change: Improved multi-cluster allocation, non-aligned file write performance. * Change: Improved volume consistency and recovery if the storage device was unsafely detached or powered down. * Change: Less disk space usage. * New: The version/-V command line option has been added. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Mar 26 2009 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcall...@redhat.com> - 2:2009.3.8-1 - update to 2009.3.8 * Wed Feb 25 2009 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-...@lists.fedoraproject.org> - 2:2009.2.1-3 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild * Mon Feb 16 2009 Tom "spot" Callaway <tcall...@redhat.com> - 2:2009.2.1-2 - update fdi to fix nautilus mount bug * 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.
