  • 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?

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.)

  • I wouldn't recommend NTFS for /home either, because you can't set POSIX ownership or permissions on it. Jan 11, 2016 at 21:13

    @Shadur: But you can. See the ntfs-3g manual. Jan 12, 2016 at 5:10
