MOUNT_NTFS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_NTFS(8) NAME mount_ntfs -- mount an NTFS file system SYNOPSIS mount_ntfs [-a] [-i] [-u uid] [-g gid] [-m mask] [-C charset] [-W u2wtable] special node DESCRIPTION The mount_ntfs utility attaches the NTFS file system residing on the device special to the global file system namespace at the location indi- cated by node. This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time, but can be used by any user to mount an NTFS file system on any directory that they own (provided, of course, that they have appropriate access to the device that contains the file system). The options are as follows: -a Force behaviour to return MS-DOS 8.3 names also on readdir(). -i Make name lookup case insensitive for all names except POSIX names. -u uid Set the owner of the files in the file system to uid. The default owner is the owner of the directory on which the file system is being mounted. -g gid Set the group of the files in the file system to gid. The default group is the group of the directory on which the file system is being mounted. -m mask Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file sys- tem. -C charset Specify local charset to convert Unicode file names. Currently only reading is supported, thus the file system is to be mounted read-only. -W u2wtable Specify UNIX to Unicode translation table. See mount_msdosfs(8) for the description of this option. This option is remained for backward compatibility purpose, so please do not use this option. This option will be removed in the future. FEATURES NTFS file attributes are accessed in following way: foo[[:ATTRTYPE]:ATTRNAME] `ATTRTYPE' is one of the identifiers listed in $AttrDef file of volume. Default is $DATA. `ATTRNAME' is an attribute name. Default is none. EXAMPLES To mount an ntfs volume located in /dev/ad1s1: # mount_ntfs /dev/ad1s1 /mnt To get the volume name (in Unicode): # cat /mnt/\$Volume:\$VOLUME_NAME To read directory raw data: # cat /mnt/foodir:\$INDEX_ROOT:\$I30 To mount a Japanese ntfs volume located in /dev/ad0s1: # mount_ntfs -C eucJP /dev/ad0s1 /mnt WRITING There is limited writing ability. Limitations: file must be nonresident and must not contain any sparces (uninitialized areas); compressed files are also not supported. The file name must not contain multibyte charac- ters. SEE ALSO mount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8), mount_msdosfs(8) CAVEATS This utility is primarily used for read access to an NTFS volume. See the WRITING section for details about writing to an NTFS volume. HISTORY The mount_ntfs utility first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0. The unicode conversion routine was added by Ryuichiro Imura <imura@ryu16.org> at 2003. AUTHORS The NTFS kernel implementation, mount_ntfs utility, and manual were writ- ten by Semen Ustimenko <semenu@FreeBSD.org>. FreeBSD 11.1 January 3, 1999 FreeBSD 11.1
