Support for NTFS file systems by meego operating system kernel

Source: Internet
Author: User

The meego operating system kernel's support for Microsoft's NTFS file system has recently been put on the agenda. Obviously, many meego netbook users are looking forward to it because many external storage devices use the NTFS file system by default. Therefore, in terms of interoperability, the consumer hopes that the meego operating system can support the NTFS file system. The lack of support for NTFS file systems was recently submitted to the meego community as a bug. The meego community responded that productized software can use NTFS for commercial authorization, NTFS support is added on the basis of the open-source kernel, but NTFS support is not placed on the meego system core.

"It seems to be a reasonable functional requirement that the features of meego1.1 have been frozen. I will recommend that this feature be evaluated as a feature of the meego 1.2 system. "5 B $ B" O % R (W7 A3 J

"Due to license restrictions, the meego kernel lacks the open-source NTFS support, so the meego system does not support the NTFS file system. Commercial Products may support ntfs on the meego system through the added NTFS license. "6 Z % E/B (N $ T # |" P5] + I9 y

This is confusing the protocol between tuxera and Microsoft, which is responsible for the open-source project NTFS-3G Driver (see Wikipedia), citing the following report:
"We will allow the Linux NTFS Driver we developed to use GPL authorization, and we get Microsoft's consent. If you are a user, you do not have to worry about Microsoft. We will deal with them directly ."

As PM Carsten munk in the meego-PM mailing list said, some NTFS drivers that do not match the Open Source Code have become the public's answer after the transparency requirements of decision-making are listed.

"Is it possible to respond to this type of additional response?
Explanation given by the meego System Core Project Administrator to ntfs fea:
For technical reasons, the NTFS Driver will not be added to the meego system core.
As a result, NTFS cannot be directly supported by the meego system core. 3 {$ V + L (j9 ~) P0'
In general, it is assumed that there are other possible causes that the NTFS Driver cannot be added to the meego system core. 5 Q # s) Z: S9 {# H/W: T
.. If the above reason does not exist, we will reconsider using the NTFS Driver of tuxera as the support for the NTFS file system of meego 1.3.
