tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux

The Linux-NTFS project (http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/) aims to bring full support for the NTFS filesystem to the Linux operating system.

This is a set of tools targeted for people interested in working with the NTFS support in the Linux kernel and using it. The following utilities are included:

ntfsfix - Attempt to fix an NTFS partition that has been damaged by the Linux NTFS driver. You should run it every time after you have used the Linux NTFS driver to write to an NTFS partition in order to prevent massive data corruption from happening when Windows mounts the partition.

mkntfs - Format a partition with an NTFS filesystem, optionally bootable.

ntfsinfo - Show some information about an NTFS partition or one of the files or directories within it.

ntfslabel - Show, or set, an NTFS partition's volume label.

ntfsresize - Resize an NTFS partition without losing data.

ntfsundelete - Recover deleted files from an NTFS partition.

ntfscluster - Locate the owner of any given sector or cluster on an NTFS partition.

ntfscat - Concatenate files and print them on the standard output (without mounting the partition).

ntfsls - List directory contents on an NTFS filesystem (without mounting).

ntfscp - Overwrite files on an NTFS partition.

ntfsclone - Efficiently clone an NTFS filesystem or a part of it.

ntfsmount - Mount an NTFS partition from user-space using libntfs and FUSE.
