Does Linux support NTFS file system

Question

Is NTFS on Ubuntu stable?

Does Linux (Fedora + Ubuntu) support NTFS file-system. They are known to support ext file system. I want to have same file system for both the windows and linux.

Solution

Linux supports NTFS using the ntfs-3g FUSE driver. However, it is not recommended to use NTFS or any other FUSE filesystem for the Linux root partition (/), due to the added complexity. (NTFS for /home would be okay.)

-1, Question does not show research effort. It's pretty easy to find documentation about NTFS in Ubuntu, for example.

@slhck How can you say that ! I searched on google and couldn't find intent results

I found that page by entering "ntfs ubuntu". I get more than seven million results for that query alone. It's really not that hard to find information online. What did you search for, if I may ask?

I wouldn't recommend NTFS for /home either, because you can't set POSIX ownership or permissions on it.

@Shadur: But you can. See the ntfs-3g manual.
