MOUNT_NTFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MOUNT_NTFS(8)

NAME

     mount_ntfs -- mount an NTFS file system

SYNOPSIS

     mount_ntfs [-s] [-o options] special node

DESCRIPTION

     The mount_ntfs command attaches the NTFS file system residing on the device special to the global file system namespace at the location indi-
     cated by node.  This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an NTFS file system on any
     directory that they own (provided, of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that contains the file system).

     The options are as follows:

     -s      Mount the volume using case sensitive semantics.  This means that you can create files that have names that only differ in case such
	     as for example "foo" and "Foo".  Without this option the volume is mounted using case insensitive semantics in which case if you cre-
	     ate a file with name "foo" you then cannot create a file named "Foo" or rather if you do create a file named "Foo" it would overwrite
	     the existing file "foo".

     -o      Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options.  See the mount(8) man page for possible options
	     and their meanings.
