Greetings, This time we have not only one or two but in fact, three NTFS-3G releases! The topics:
* New Stable NTFS-3G Release * New Advanced NTFS-3G Release * New High-Performance NTFS-3G for Embedded Devices * Acknowledgements - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Reading a data storage with permanent or temporary physical damage, or a partial read system call could result ignoring the low level hardware error and returning invalid data. The stable release fixes this issue. Upgrade is recommended to be able to detect hardware faults earlier, being able to cope with them better and to minimize data loss in these increasingly more common scenarios (huge rotating disks, rapidly spreading SSDs). The latest stable release is available at http://ntfs-3g.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - While the focus of the Stable NTFS-3G driver is reliability, the Advanced NTFS-3G driver aims at developing, maturing, and releasing new features to get user feedback before they are integrated in the stable releases. The Advanced NTFS-3G releases are designed as add-ons to the latest stable release. They benefit from all the stable improvements and fixes. This facilitates the subsequent, incremental, safe integration of the newer features both for the developer and the user. Jean-Pierre Andre leads the development of the Advanced NTFS-3G driver. The currently available features are - Full file ownership and permissions support with configurable user mapping. - POSIX ACL support. - Built-in, transparent UTF-8 support (no need for the locale= option). - Windows junction points are seen as symbolic links. - Performance improvements. - Tools for managing ownership, permissions and ACLs: secaudit checks the integrity of ownership, permissions and ACL; usermap gives help to configure ownership. Please find more details at http://pagesperso-orange.fr/b.andre/advanced-ntfs-3g.html - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The NTFS-3G performance on embedded devices didn't get attention in the past and the critics about the poor performance were well justified. We always carefully listen to our users and have improved the driver performance to be 10-20 times better.
