Title: NTFS
Post by: Tech9 on March 04, 2010, 12:23:20 PM

Hello All,

     Actually, this question may be geared towards the developers of tiny-core, but have you considered adding NTFS to the core.

This would be very handy in order to backup/restore files with ntfs format.

Thanks,

Tech9

actually, there is an extension for reading/writing to ntfs partition; you can boot tinycore with this extension loaded at boot if you need it

Hi alu,

     Thanks for the reply. Could you explain how to load this ntfs extension?

Thanks,

Tech9

start appbrowser from the control panel (cpanel), connect to the repository and download or install the ntfs-3g utility; if you want to have it at boot, just copy the code into /opt/bootlocal.sh; this code should be smthg like:

tce-load -i /partition/tcedirectory/optional directory/ntfs-3g.tcz

Using either of the NTFS extensions will provide access to any NTFS partitions, although I do not believe the support will be present in the system early enough to be able to use it for the built-in backup/restore function.  Manually backing up and restoring to NTFS could be done through /opt/bootlocal.sh and /opt/powerdown.sh.
