3 tristate "NTFS Read-Write file system support"
6 Windows OS native file system (NTFS) support up to NTFS version 3.1.
8 Y or M enables the NTFS3 driver with full features enabled (read,
9 write, journal replaying, sparse/compressed files support).
10 File system type to use on mount is "ntfs3". Module name (M option)
13 Documentation: <file:Documentation/filesystems/ntfs3.rst>
15 config NTFS3_64BIT_CLUSTER
16 bool "64 bits per NTFS clusters"
17 depends on NTFS3_FS && 64BIT
19 Windows implementation of ntfs.sys uses 32 bits per clusters.
20 If activated 64 bits per clusters you will be able to use 4k cluster
21 for 16T+ volumes. Windows will not be able to mount such volumes.
23 It is recommended to say N here.
25 config NTFS3_LZX_XPRESS
26 bool "activate support of external compressions lzx/xpress"
29 In Windows 10 one can use command "compact" to compress any files.
30 4 possible variants of compression are: xpress4k, xpress8k, xpress16k and lzx.
31 If activated you will be able to read such files correctly.
33 It is recommended to say Y here.
35 config NTFS3_FS_POSIX_ACL
36 bool "NTFS POSIX Access Control Lists"
40 POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support additional access rights
41 for users and groups beyond the standard owner/group/world scheme,
42 and this option selects support for ACLs specifically for ntfs
44 NOTE: this is linux only feature. Windows will ignore these ACLs.
46 If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
