.Dd $Mdocdate: August 20 2022 $ .Dt MOUNT_NTFS 8 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm mount_ntfs .Nd mount an NTFS file system .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm mount_ntfs .Op Fl ai .Op Fl g Ar group .Op Fl m Ar mask .Op Fl o Ar options .Op Fl u Ar user .Ar special .Ar node .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm command attaches the NTFS filesystem residing on the device .Ar special to the global filesystem namespace at the location indicated by .Ar node . This command is invoked by .Xr mount 8 when using the syntax d -ragged -offset 4h .Nm mount Op options -t ntfs .Ar special node .Ed
p The .Ar special device is either a .Xr disklabel 8 UID (DUID) or an entry in
a /dev . If it is a DUID, it will be automatically mapped to the appropriate entry in
a /dev . In either case the partition must be present in the disklabel loaded from the device. The partition name is the last letter in the entry name. For example, /dev/sd0a and 3eb7f9da875cb9ee.a both refer to the .Sq a partition.
p The supported NTFS versions include both NTFS4, as used by Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, and NTFS5, as used by Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP. Only read-only operation is permitted, which is automatically enforced.
p The options are as follows: l -tag -width Ds t Fl a Force behaviour to return MS-DOS 8.3 names also on .Fn readdir . t Fl g Ar group Specifies the group name or GID of the root inode of the file system. Defaults to the mount point's GID. t Fl i Make name lookup case insensitive for all names except POSIX names. t Fl m Ar mask Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file system. t Fl o Ar options Options are specified with a .Fl o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the .Xr mount 8 man page for possible options and their meanings. t Fl u Ar user Specifies the user name or UID of the root inode of the file system. Defaults to the mount point's UID. .El .Sh FEATURES .Ss NTFS file attributes NTFS file attributes can be accessed in the following way: d -literal -offset indent foo[[:ATTRTYPE]:ATTRNAME] .Ed
p .Sq ATTRTYPE is one of identifier listed in $AttrDef file of volume. Default is $DATA. .Sq ATTRNAME is an attribute name. Default is none.
p .Sy Examples :
p To get volume name (in Unicode): d -literal -offset indent # cat /mnt/\e$Volume:\e$VOLUME_NAME .Ed
p To read directory raw data: d -literal -offset indent # cat /mnt/foodir:\e$INDEX_ROOT:\e$I30 .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mount 2 , .Xr unmount 2 , .Xr disklabel 5 , .Xr fstab 5 , .Xr disklabel 8 , .Xr mount 8 .Sh HISTORY Support for NTFS first appeared in .Fx 3.0 . It was later ported to .Ox and first appeared in .Ox 3.4 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit NTFS kernel implementation, .Nm mount_ntfs , and this manual were originally written by .An Semen Ustimenko Aq Mt semenu@FreeBSD.org .
p The .Ox port was done by .An Julien Bordet Aq Mt zejames@greyhats.org . .Sh BUGS Only read support is enabled.
p If the NTFS partition is marked as .Ql dynamic under Microsoft Windows XP, it won't be possible to access it under .Ox anymore.
