There are no benefits to using NTFS, but a great number of downsides: 1) NTFS is *very* complex. 2) Only WinNT, Win2k and WinXP supports it. 3) There are three different versions of NTFS (v1.2, v3.0, v3.1). 4) None of the versions are publicly documented by Microsoft. 5) Other projects who attempted NTFS support were threatened with lawsuits: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0009.1/1229.html In short: No, we will not add NTFS support to Rockbox. -- BjörnReceived on 2002-11-17 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
