Vous utilisez encore des partitions NTFS parce que vous avez un windows quelque part? Ça vous arrive de monter le disque dur en NTFS d’un ami pour récupérer des données? Et bien ces derniers temps, le module ntfs-3g qui vous permet de lire et écrire des données sur un disque dur NTFS a subit quelques changements. Les voici :
STABLE Version 2009.4.4 (April 2, 2009)
- Fix: Mount and system boot could hang if Linux kernel audit was enabled.
- Fix: Volume could be potentially corrupted or the driver crashed after a partial write or hardware error.
- Fix: The driver could crash handling highly fragmented files.
STABLE Version 2009.3.8 (March 26, 2009)
- Fix: Some defragmenters reported NTFS-3G created directories unmovable.
- Fix: The Windows NTFS file system checker, CHKDSK, may reported « free space marked as allocated in the master file table (MFT) bitmap ».
- Fix: The driver may returned « No space left on device » error when there was still free space on the NTFS volume.
- Fix: A file may got corrupted when the STANDARD INFORMATION attribute was moved to an extent MFT record. Only the already fixed Advanced NTFS-3G Driver had this problem, not the Stable NTFS-3G Driver.
- Change: 10-50% faster file and directory creation, removal, copy, unpackaging performance.
- Change: 500-1000% faster mount time. This is mostly noticable on multi-TB volumes and embedded devices. Please note, a generally 10-20 times faster performing NTFS-3G driver is available for embedded devices separately.
- Change: Improved multi-cluster allocation, non-aligned file write performance.
- Change: Improved volume consistency and recovery if the storage device was unsafely detached or powered down.
- Change: Less disk space usage.
- New: The version/-V command line option has been added.
Comme vous pouvez le constater, pas mal de bugs ont été corrigés et les performances globales ont été améliorés. La version 2009.3.8 est disponible dans l’arbre portage, et la 2009.4.4 devrait arriver prochainement.
