NTFS Credits and History

Martin von Löwis created the original NTFS driver back in 1995. It was added to the Linux kernel in December 1997 (2.1.74). He has been helped by the following kind souls: Albert Cahalan, Anton Altaparmakov, Damon Casale, David Dillard, Domagoj Pensa, Joseph Malicki, Matthew Fanto, Olof Wolgast, Pawel Kot, Rani Assaf, Régis Duchesne, Richard Russon, Steve Dodd, Werner Seiler.

Starting around the year 2000, Anton Altaparmakov started the Linux-NTFS project on Sourceforge and created the NTFS library and initial user space utilities with help from Richard Russon, Matthew Fanto, Szabolcs Szakacsits, Lode Leroy, Yuval Fledel, and Yura Pakhuchiy.

In 2001, Anton started from scratch and created the new NTFS driver. It was added to the Linux kernel in April 2002 (2.5.11). He has been helped by Richard Russon and others.

Anton is still the lead developer and maintainer of the new NTFS driver, library and userspace utilities.

Pawel Kot, with help from Anton, backported the new NTFS driver to the 2.4.18 Linux kernel in May 2002. This backport is not maintained anymore.

LDM Credits

Richard Russon created the LDM driver in 2001. It was added to the Linux Kernel in August 2001 (2.4.8). He has been helped by: Anton Altaparmakov and Jakob Kemi.

Project Activity:

A detailed statistic about the Linux-NTFS website, based on the webserver-logfiles, can be found here. Statistics are generated via AWStats every half an hour, but may be incomplete (due to logfile-rotation).

This is the download history statistics over the last 12 months, accumulated for all Linux-NTFS project files, hosted on SourceForge:
