NTFS-3G 1.2216 (Default branch)
NTFS-3G is a read/write NTFS driver. NTFS-3G isavailable for over 60 Linux distributions,including most major ones. Moreover, it has beenported to other operating systems like FreeBSD,BeOS, Haiku, and Mac OS X, to big-endian and64-bit computer architectures, and to CPUs likeAMD64, ARM, and MIPS.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
This release fixes file and directory removal; rename and move may have been denied with an "Operation not supported" error message. setuid-root ntfs-3g had a local root exploit and other security problems. From now on, unprivileged mounts of block devices are possible only by using the integrated FUSE library (default), which has no known security problem. Unprivileged unmount didn't always work. This release always creates the mount.ntfs-3g symlink in /sbin where mount(8) needs it.Image

scrounge-ntfs(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					  scrounge-ntfs(8)

NAME

     scrounge-ntfs -- helps retrieve data from corrupted NTFS partitions

SYNOPSIS

     scrounge-ntfs -l disk
     scrounge-ntfs -s disk
     scrounge-ntfs [-m mftoffset] [-c clustersize] [-o outdir] disk start end

DESCRIPTION

     scrounge-ntfs is a utility that can rescue data from corrupted NTFS partitions. It writes the files retrieved to another working file system.
     Certain information about the partition needs to be known in advance.

     The -l mode is meant to be run in advance of the data corruption, with the output stored away in a file. This allows scrounge-ntfs to recover
     data reliably. See the 'NOTES' section below for recover info when this isn't the case.

OPTIONS

     The options are as follows:

     -c 	 The cluster size (in sectors). When not specified a default of 8 is used.

     -l 	 List partition information for a drive. This will only work when the partition table for the given drive is intact.

     -m 	 When recovering data this specifies the location of the MFT from the beginning of the partition (in sectors). If not specified
		 then no directory information can be used, that is, all rescued files will be written to the same directory.

     -o 	 Directory to put rescued files in. If not specified then files will be placed in the current directory.

     -s 	 Search disk for partition information. (Not implemented yet).

     disk	 The raw device used to access the disk which contains the NTFS partition to rescue files from. eg: '/dev/hdc'

     start	 The beginning of the NTFS partition (in sectors).

     end	 The end of the NTFS partition (in sectors)

NOTES

     If you plan on using this program sucessfully you should prepare in advance by storing a copy of the partition information. Use the -l option
     to do this. Eventually searching for disk partition information will be implemented, which will solve this problem.

     When only one partition exists on a disk or you want to rescue the first partition there are ways to guess at the sector sizes and MFT loca-
     tion. See the scrounge-ntfs web page for more info:
