Is read access safe ?
I would really be interested by a link to ntfs status in linux. I mean what is
safe and what is not.

Isn't it still theoretcially possible for the driver to send commands to the
disk controller that cause data to become overwritten, even when it's just
supposed to read that data?

IMHO the NTFS driver creators weren't bloody newbies and won't do such
a bug, even not by accidence.
Also I think there might be a VFS protection of R/O space, but I'm not sure.

AFAICS, ext3 is happy to write to read-only mounted partition. So
question was not completely stupid.

Theoretically it is also possible that all quantums in my body decide to 
tunnel through space-time at exactly the same time and with the exactly 
same direction and speed vector for exactly the same duration of time and 
that I am suddenly effectively teleported to the surface of the moon. (-:

But that doesn't mean it's going to happen...

Seriously, it is a theoretical possibility but a practical impossibility in 
my opinion and to the best of my knowledge of the current driver it will 
not communicate with any hardware directly in any way. In fact it only 
performs writes by dirtying buffer cache buffers which get written back by 
the kernel proper. ll_rw_block() never gets called directly and neither 
does generic_make_request() and block_write_full_page() isn't at the moment 
either. (Anything I missed?) Also, when you compile the driver without the 
write support enabled, you are almost 100% sure even a major bug in the 
driver will not cause any writes.

And no, the driver is not a virus nor a trojan nor does it have any 
intelligence to suddenly decide to write things when it isn't asked to...

NOTE: Please don't take my comments personally / too seriously but I 
couldn't resist... Follow-ups to alt.silly.* please...

Regards,

         Anton

Of course read-only is safe. As long as you mount the partition READ-ONLY 
nothing can happen to it in any way, your NTFS data is at least safe. It is 
possible however that the driver might cause the kernel to crash in the 
worst case so you might loose unsaved data on other write mounted 
partitions. Note that this is an infrequent event and I have only over 
experienced it under extreme load of the driver! Casual use like playing 
mp3s from an NTFS partition works fine. On a production system, leaving 
NTFS partitions mounted will slowly eat your memory (reported by several 
people), mostly it will go into buffers which don't seem to get freed (I 
think this is better with more recent kernels but don't have a box with 
NTFS partitions which can stay up for more than a day, due to needing to 
use windows, to make sure). - There is no detectable memory leak I can see 
(I wrote a small memory debugger tracking facility and added it to the 
driver and all allocated memory was released when the unmount happened, so 
there is no leak, admittedly I need to have this run for longer to make 
sure, also none of the memory blocks were overrun in either direction).

To summarize: usage for read only is fine for general, not too heavy duty, 
workstation that gets rebooted once every few days, kind of use.

Note that some of the facilities from Windows 2000 NTFS are not available 
and the driver will either ignore them or do something stupid, but it will 
NOT damage your data.

Write mode is another matter completely! It is extremely DANGEROUS and NOT 
suitable for everyday use. I would recommend to never mount an NTFS 
partition read/write unless you are a developer and it is either a fully 
backed up partition which you can afford to have completely trashed OR your 
partition is already trashed / NT/2k isn't working and you are trying to 
fix it. Only then is it ok to use it. Also note that the current driver has 
no support whatsoever for deleting files/directories. So you can either 
create files or copy files on top of others but not delete any of them. And 
finally note that dealing with directories is not right so preferably stick 
to only creating/copying files without involving the creation of directories.

>I would really be interested by a link to ntfs status in linux. I mean 
>what is safe and what is not.

You will have to wait for that kind of thing I am afraid. I might put up 
some kind of status page up on sourceforge at some point but not now. More 
important things to do. If someone wants to make a web page just drop me a 
line and we can put it up on linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net (nothing there at 
the moment at all)...

Hope this answers your immediate questions.

Best regards,

         Anton

does that mean, if I apply ac11 I have already the same like pre9 patch
plus you patches?

I know, its not the most intelligent question, but nobody could tell me...

On Wed, 24 Jan 2001, Alan Cox wrote:

Modules don't load. I do usually compile heavily modular kernels, with ide
and ext2fs being also modular. When trying to load them from initrd, I have
the following output:

=== Cut ===
ide-mod.o: Can't handle sections of type 32131
ide-probe-mod.o: Can't handle sections of type 256950710
ext2.o: Can't handle sections of type 688840897
=== Cut ===

I suspect that all modules are affected, but can't check it because kernel
is unable to mount root filesystem.

All of ac9-ac11 behave the same. ac4, vanilla 2.4.0 and a whole bunch of
pre's are fine, so it looks like something was broken between ac4 and ac9 (I
didn't compile anything inbetween).

I use gcc-2.95.2, binutils-2.10.1.0.4, modutils-2.4.2, glibc-2.2.1. The
initrd image is romfs. I don't think something was broken in romfs, 'coz
all the programs run just fine outta the image (static ash, static insmod).

Config is available and can be sent on request. Please let me know if I can
help to find out what causes such a bug.

Re: Linux 2.4.0ac11

[Anton Altaparmakov]

As I don't use initrd at all I am a bit out of my depth here but according 
to Documentation/Changes you need a new mkinitrd and the version suggested 
seems to be 2.8-1. Checking my up-to-date RedHat 7.0 workstation it has 
mkinitrd version 2.6-1, so this might be your problem?

Best regards,

         Anton

Don't be silly. I do not use RedHat (I do my own distribution, KSI Linux)
and their mkinitrd is just a script. Furthermore, I don't have ext2fs in the
kernel so their mkinitrd won't work. I do not have ide in the kernel
either...
