NTFS (New Technology File System) is the standard file system of Windows. Use this tag in questions about using NTFS partitions and tools on your system.
NTFS is a filesystem developed by Microsoft and is used as default filesystem on modern Windows systems.
NTFS partitions can be mounted on in read/write mode using ntfs-3gfuse driver, which has been available since 2007.
The linux-kernel ntfs driver can support limited write features, but often it is used to mount NTFS partitions in read-only mode. For this reason most users likely want to use ntfs-3g driver instead of the kernel driver on Linux systems. Separate utilities provided by ntfsprogs can be used without any additional driver support to manage and examine NTFS parititions.
