33 <para>
[154c9eb]34 The <application>Ntfs-3g</application> package contains a stable,
35 read-write open source driver for NTFS partitions. NTFS partitions are
[f3429309]36 used by most Microsoft operating systems. Ntfs-3g allows you to mount
[154c9eb]37 NTFS partitions in read-write mode from your Linux system. It uses the
38 FUSE kernel module to be able to implement NTFS support in user space.
[f71807c2]39 The package also contains various utilities useful for manipulating NTFS
40 partitions.
