│ CONFIG_NTFS_RW: │ │ │ │ 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. Note only non-resident files can be written to │ │ so you may find that some very small files (<500 bytes or so) cannot │ │ be written to. │ │ │ │ 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. │ │ │ │ This is currently useful with TopologiLinux. TopologiLinux is run │ │ on top of any DOS/Microsoft Windows system without partitioning your │ │ hard disk. Unlike other Linux distributions TopologiLinux does not │ │ need its own partition. For more information see │ │ │ │ │ │ It is perfectly safe to say N here. │ │ │ │ Symbol: NTFS_RW [=n] │ │ Prompt: NTFS write support │ │ Defined at fs/Kconfig:755 │ │ Depends on: NTFS_FS │ │ Location: │ │ -> File systems │ │ -> DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems │ │ -> NTFS file system support (NTFS_FS [=m]) │ │
