MOUNT_NTFS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_NTFS(8)
NAME
mount_ntfs - mount an NTFS file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_ntfs [-ai] [-g group] [-m mask] [-o options] [-u user] special node
DESCRIPTION
The mount_ntfs command attaches the NTFS filesystem residing on the
device special to the global filesystem namespace at the location
indicated by node. This command is invoked by mount(8) when using the
syntax
mount [options] -t ntfs special node
The special device is either a disklabel(8) UID (DUID) or an entry in
/dev. If it is a DUID, it will be automatically mapped to the
appropriate entry in /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 `a' partition.
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.
The options are as follows:
-a Force behaviour to return MS-DOS 8.3 names also on readdir().
-g group
Specifies the group name or GID of the root inode of the file
system. Defaults to the mount point's GID.
-i Make name lookup case insensitive for all names except POSIX
names.
-m mask
Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file
system.
-o options
Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma
separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for
possible options and their meanings.
-u user
Specifies the user name or UID of the root inode of the file
system. Defaults to the mount point's UID.
FEATURES
NTFS file attributes
NTFS file attributes can be accessed in the following way:
foo[[:ATTRTYPE]:ATTRNAME]
`ATTRTYPE' is one of identifier listed in $AttrDef file of volume.
Default is $DATA. `ATTRNAME' is an attribute name. Default is none.
Examples:
To get volume name (in Unicode):
# cat /mnt/\$Volume:\$VOLUME_NAME
To read directory raw data:
# cat /mnt/foodir:\$INDEX_ROOT:\$I30

HISTORY
Support for NTFS first appeared in FreeBSD 3.0. It was later ported to
OpenBSD and first appeared in OpenBSD 3.4.
AUTHORS
NTFS kernel implementation, mount_ntfs, and this manual were originally
written by Semen Ustimenko <

The OpenBSD port was done by Julien Bordet <
[email protected]>.
BUGS
Only read support is enabled.
If the NTFS partition is marked as `dynamic' under Microsoft Windows XP,
it won't be possible to access it under OpenBSD anymore.
