Is the NTFS file system supported by Linux?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Linux distributions have built-in support for reading NTFS partitions, but they lack native write support. To enable write access on Linux, you can install the "ntfs-3g" package, which is a third-party driver.

NTFS (New Technology File System) is a proprietary file system developed by Microsoft specifically for Windows operating systems. While NTFS is the default file system for Windows, it may not function as seamlessly on other platforms like macOS and Linux.

On macOS, when you connect an external storage device formatted with NTFS, macOS allows you to read files from the device but does not permit you to write or modify files on it by default. To achieve full read and write functionality with NTFS devices on a Mac, you can install third-party software such as iBoysoft NTFS for Mac.
