Hi all. I was recently reading Newsforge, and came on an article describing the Trinity Rescue Kit. Both in tha article and on the TRK home page, I
have been seeing references to Lufs. So far as I have known, Lufs has been deprecated in favor of Lufis. I haven't used TRK to see whether or not its actually using Lufis or Lufs. According to the original article though:
Another option for gaining write access to NTFS partitions is to use the NTFS-fuse drivers. This doesn't require any Windows
files and gives limited NTFS write access. Using this driver, you can create only as many as 10 files or subdirectories per folder.
In some preliminary testing I have done on my laptop that has Captive installed, I found that I was able to create 12 files in a directory instead of the supposed 10. And yes I am running this
test as Root, since I am currently too lazy to do it otherwise at the moment :)
root@lappie:~/temp/testdir# for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12; do
> touch $i.txt
> done
root@lappie:~/temp/testdir# ls
1.txt 10.txt 11.txt 12.txt 2.txt 3.txt 4.txt 5.txt 6.txt 7.txt 8.txt 9.txt
All this leads me to believe that there is an error in the original article (granted I have noticed odd things in the past like 'operation not permitted' errors when performing large
read/write operations, etc). And that is when I figured I'd look at the original Lufs again, just to see if I may have missed something when I first installed Captive some time back. As a
result, I have arrived on the above confusion. Ideas anyone?
