# NTFS
|
|
|
|
NTFS is the proprietary [file system](./disk-management.md) 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](/wiki/linux/disk-management.md#mounting) a
|
|
[Bitlocker encrypted drive](./dislocker.md) 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](/wiki/linux/disk-management.md#mounting) with NTFS
|
|
the following line has to be adapted and added to `/etc/fstab`:
|
|
|
|
```txt
|
|
<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.
