14.12.03 11:15 Captive Microsoft Windows Driver ( , , , )

Linux: this morning, I tried out the captive ntfs file system driver for Linux. Installation was easy (on Suse), as the project provides ready to install rpm's, deb packages and also compiled tar.gz files (and of course sources)
After installation, captive-install-acquire must to be execute. It does the following:

  • scan your local file system for drivers (cdfs.sys, fastfat.sys, ntfs.sys...)
  • allows you to manually specify paths to driver location
  • download latest drivers directly from MS (30 MB). At the end of the downlaod I got an error message (sub-directory no found), but it seems that all drivers have been downloaded.

    How to use it:

    mkdir /mnt/captive-LABEL_C
    mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/captive-LABEL_C
