The following projects are in some way related to ntfs support in the
linux operating system environment, so they might be of some interrest.
Please note that most project descriptions are from the project's homepage itself, so we can in no way guarantee accuracy or actuality of the below information. Click on the heading to open the page in a new window..
by François Dupoux. From the projects description: "Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX utility which saves partitions in many formats (see below) to an image file. The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and split into multiple files to be copied on removable floppies (ZIP for example), ... Partitions can be saved across the network since version 0.6.0."
by Kees Zeelenberg. These are part of the 'GnuWin32 project'. The GnuWin32 project provides Win32-versions of GNU tools, or tools with a similar open source licence. The ports are native ports, that is they rely only on libraries provided with any standard 32-bits MS-Windows operating system, such as MS-Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP. Native ports do not rely on some kind of Unix emulation, such as CygWin or Msys, so that there is no need to install additional emulation libraries. At present, all developments have been done under MS-Windows 98 and XP, using the Mingw port of the GNU C and C++ (GCC) compilers.
by Christophe Grenier provides some data recovery, password recovery and security programs and articles, that also relate to NTFS and to partition loss.
by Martin Hinner is a project that wants to provide NT and OS/2 Volumes support for Linux. From the project's description: "This Linux kernel driver allows you to mount Windows NT stripe sets, Windows NT volumes and OS/2 Warpserver 5 volumes on Linux. This is the first public version, so it very buggy."
by Miklos Szeredi. From the project's homepage: "What is AVFS? AVFS is a system, which enables all programs to look inside archived or compressed files, or access remote files without recompiling the programs or changing the kernel.
At the moment it supports floppies, tar and gzip files, zip, bzip2, ar and rar files, ftp sessions, http, webdav, rsh/rcp, ssh/scp. Quite a few other handlers are implemented with the Midnight Commander's external FS."
GNU Parted is a program for creating, destroying, resizing, checking and copying partitions, and the file systems on them. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising disk usage, copying data between hard disks and disk imaging.
Features: Supported disk labels: raw access (useful for RAID and LVM), MS-DOS partition tables, Intel GPT partition tables, MIPS/DVH partition tables, Amiga partition tables PC98 partition tables, Sun and BSD disk labels and Macintosh partition maps.
by Bo Branten. SwapFs is a driver for Windows NT/2000/XP that let you use a Linux swap partition for temporary storage, like a RAM-disk. It is possible to put Windows page file on it. It is implemented as a disk filter driver.
FileDisk is a virtual disk driver for Windows NT/2000/XP that uses one or more files to emulate physical disks. A console application is included that let you dynamically mount and unmount files. An example of use for this driver is if you have made plans spending the weekend writing an RAID driver for NT but find you are short of disks. FileDisk can also use CD-images.
by John Newbigin, is 'the WIN32 explorer for Linux ext2fs partitions'.
A project from Jan Kratochvil to include the windows ntfs driver in a
wine-like manner into the linux userland, through the use of a kernel
userland driver bridge. You will need access to the Microsoft Windows
ntfs driver, which usually comes with this operating system.
Discontinued after achieving primary goals for
the 2.4 kernel.
Allows delegating the file system to the user space. ntfsmount is the best example of how to use it for NTFS volumes.
A closed-source proprietary commercial driver for ntfs support, currently without 64-bit linux support.
Closed-source proprietary commercial system to run Microsoft Windows operating system inside a virtual machine under Linux. You can share the read-write NTFS disk by using a network file sharing through a VMware virtual network card.
"SalvageNTFS is a set of applications and an associated library aimed at
data recovery from NTFS volumes, made freely available under the terms
of the GNU General Purpose License. It can "undelete" files, bypass
file system permissions, and retrieve information from badly corrupted
or inconsistent volumes."
