11 Paragon NTFS&HFS+ for Linux 9.5
Unpacking Setup Files
The setup files of the Linux-based version of the NTFS & HFS+ for Linux are provided in the form of
a gzip archive. The archive should be copied to the hard disk and decompressed. For example: For
the NTFS & HFS+ for Linux driver and utilities:
• create separate folder:
$ mkdir /usr/tmp/ufsd
• change the current directory to the new one
$ cd /usr/tmp/ufsd
• use tar utility to unpack initial archive
$ tar -xf /path/to/the/initial/archive/ufsd\_
*
.tar.gz
Next step is to build and install the NTFS & HFS+ for Linux driver.
Using the INSTALL.SH Assistant Script
The assistant script "install.sh" provides the extremely easy and flexible way to make the NTFS &
HFS+ for Linux and install driver module in the system. Additionally, the script can reconfigure OS so
that driver module is automatically rebuilt for another supported Kernel version (Professional edition
only) and NTFS/HFS+ volumes are automatically mounted with the UFSD driver (Professional edition
only).
Please note that development tools and kernel sources are required to present on the system and
stay in the default locations to build and install the drivers.
Installation
Just run the install.sh script with root privileges:
# ./install.sh or \$ sudo ./install.sh
The assistant script will automatically perform the following actions:
1. Detect the Linux Kernel version;
2. Find kernel header files and libraries needed for building the drivers;
3. Add service for rebuilding driver module for supported Kernels via the DKMS library (Professional
edition only);
4. Build driver binary modules (jnl.ko and ufsd.ko);
5. Install the driver;
6. Add automatic mounting settings for NTFS/HFS+ volumes (Professional edition only);
7. Build and install additional utilities (Professional edition only);
INSTALL.SH default mode for the NTFS&HFS+ for Linux driver
The assistant script install.sh always names the NTFS&HFS+ for Linux driver module as ufsd (it
is the abbreviation of the project name Universal File System Driver).
Now you can mount any NTFS/HFS+ partition:
