DESCRIPTION

     The mount_ntfs utility attaches the NTFS file system residing on the
     device special to the global file system namespace at the location indi-
     cated by node.  This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot
     time, but can be used by any user to mount an NTFS file system on any
     directory that they own (provided, of course, that they have appropriate
     access to the device that contains the file system).

     The options are as follows:

     -a      Force behaviour to return MS-DOS 8.3 names also on readdir().

     -s      Make name lookup case sensitive.

     -u uid  Set the owner of the files in the file system to uid.  The
             default owner is the owner of the directory on which the file
             system is being mounted.

     -g gid  Set the group of the files in the file system to gid.  The
             default group is the group of the directory on which the file
             system is being mounted.

     -m mask
             Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file sys-
             tem.

FEATURES

     NTFS file attributes are accessed in following way:

           foo[[:ATTRTYPE]:ATTRNAME]

     `ATTRTYPE' is one of the identifiers listed in $AttrDef file of volume.
     Default is $DATA.  `ATTRNAME' is an attribute name.  Default is none.

EXAMPLES

     To mount an ntfs volume located in /dev/ad1s1:

           # mount_ntfs /dev/ad1s1 /mnt

     To get the volume name (in Unicode):

           # cat /mnt/\$Volume:\$VOLUME_NAME

     To read directory raw data:

           # cat /mnt/foodir:\$INDEX_ROOT:\$I30

WRITING

     There is limited writing ability.  Limitations: file must be nonresident
     and must not contain any sparces (uninitialized areas); compressed files
     are also not supported.
