NTFS-3G 1.2506 (Default branch)

NTFS-3G is a stable read/write NTFS driver. It is available for over 130 Linux distributions, including most major ones. Moreover, it has been ported to other operating systems like FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenSolaris, Haiku, and Mac OS X, and to big-endian and 64-bit computer architectures. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release fixes a potential data corruption which could happen on any area of the NTFS volume except the NTFS boot sector. The chance for this to happen is higher for close to full disk utilization and using one of the more uncommon, less than 4096 byte cluster sizes. All stable releases have this issue since version 1.328. Upgrading is strongly recommended from all NTFS-3G releases.Image
