NTFS

NTFS is the proprietary file system of Windows.

Setup

For the usage of NTFS file systems the ntfs-3g package - available on most distributions - has to be installed.

Usage

When mounting a Bitlocker encrypted drive there are additional steps that have to be taken to decrypt the device.

Manual Mounting

Partitions using NTFS can be mounted on Linux based operating systems by running the following command: mount -t ntfs-3g -o loop <path to partition> <path to mount point>. If the partition to mount is bootable or contains a windows system the hibernation and fast boot have to be disabled to mount the partition with write access.

Automatic Mounting

For the usage of NTFS file systems the ntfs-3g package - available on most distributions - has to be installed. To automount partitions with NTFS the following line has to be adapted and added to /etc/fstab:

<specified partition> <path to mount point> ntfs-3g nofail,windows_names,big_writes 0 0

If the partition to mount is bootable or contains a windows system the hibernation and fast boot have to be disabled to mount the partition with write access.
