+=====
+NTFS3
+=====
+
+
+Summary and Features
+====================
+
+NTFS3 is fully functional NTFS Read-Write driver. The driver works with
+NTFS versions up to 3.1, normal/compressed/sparse files
+and journal replaying. File system type to use on mount is 'ntfs3'.
+
+- This driver implements NTFS read/write support for normal, sparse and
+ compressed files.
+- Supports native journal replaying;
+- Supports extended attributes
+ Predefined extended attributes:
+ - 'system.ntfs_security' gets/sets security
+ descriptor (SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_RELATIVE)
+ - 'system.ntfs_attrib' gets/sets ntfs file/dir attributes.
+ Note: applied to empty files, this allows to switch type between
+ sparse(0x200), compressed(0x800) and normal;
+- Supports NFS export of mounted NTFS volumes.
+
+Mount Options
+=============
+
+The list below describes mount options supported by NTFS3 driver in addition to
+generic ones.
+
+===============================================================================
+
+nls=name This option informs the driver how to interpret path
+ strings and translate them to Unicode and back. If
+ this option is not set, the default codepage will be
+ used (CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT).
+ Examples:
+ 'nls=utf8'
+
+uid=
+gid=
+umask= Controls the default permissions for files/directories created
+ after the NTFS volume is mounted.
+
+fmask=
+dmask= Instead of specifying umask which applies both to
+ files and directories, fmask applies only to files and
+ dmask only to directories.
+
+nohidden Files with the Windows-specific HIDDEN (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN)
+ attribute will not be shown under Linux.
+
+sys_immutable Files with the Windows-specific SYSTEM
+ (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM) attribute will be marked as system
+ immutable files.
+
+discard Enable support of the TRIM command for improved performance
+ on delete operations, which is recommended for use with the
+ solid-state drives (SSD).
+
+force Forces the driver to mount partitions even if 'dirty' flag
+ (volume dirty) is set. Not recommended for use.
+
+sparse Create new files as "sparse".
+
+showmeta Use this parameter to show all meta-files (System Files) on
+ a mounted NTFS partition.
+ By default, all meta-files are hidden.
+
+prealloc Preallocate space for files excessively when file size is
+ increasing on writes. Decreases fragmentation in case of
+ parallel write operations to different files.
+
+no_acs_rules "No access rules" mount option sets access rights for
+ files/folders to 777 and owner/group to root. This mount
+ option absorbs all other permissions:
+ - permissions change for files/folders will be reported
+ as successful, but they will remain 777;
+ - owner/group change will be reported as successful, but
+ they will stay as root
+
+acl Support POSIX ACLs (Access Control Lists). Effective if
+ supported by Kernel. Not to be confused with NTFS ACLs.
+ The option specified as acl enables support for POSIX ACLs.
+
+noatime All files and directories will not update their last access
+ time attribute if a partition is mounted with this parameter.
+ This option can speed up file system operation.
+
+===============================================================================
+
+ToDo list
+=========
+
+- Full journaling support (currently journal replaying is supported) over JBD.

+ help
+ Windows OS native file system (NTFS) support up to NTFS version 3.1.
+
+ Y or M enables the NTFS3 driver with full features enabled (read,
+ write, journal replaying, sparse/compressed files support).
+ File system type to use on mount is "ntfs3". Module name (M option)
+ is also "ntfs3".

+ bool "64 bits per NTFS clusters"
+ depends on NTFS3_FS && 64BIT
+ help
+ Windows implementation of ntfs.sys uses 32 bits per clusters.
+ If activated 64 bits per clusters you will be able to use 4k cluster
+ for 16T+ volumes. Windows will not be able to mount such volumes.
+
+ It is recommended to say N here.
+
+config NTFS3_LZX_XPRESS
+ bool "activate support of external compressions lzx/xpress"
+ depends on NTFS3_FS
+ help
+ In Windows 10 one can use command "compact" to compress any files.
+ 4 possible variants of compression are: xpress4k, xpress8k, xpress16k and lzx.
+ If activated you will be able to read such files correctly.
+
+ It is recommended to say Y here.
+
+config NTFS3_FS_POSIX_ACL
+ bool "NTFS POSIX Access Control Lists"
+ depends on NTFS3_FS
+ select FS_POSIX_ACL
+ help
+ POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) support additional access rights
+ for users and groups beyond the standard owner/group/world scheme,
+ and this option selects support for ACLs specifically for ntfs
+ filesystems.
+ NOTE: this is linux only feature. Windows will ignore these ACLs.
+
+ If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
