User manual 18
Option NTFS HFS+ Expected behavior and examples
bestcompr + - -o bestcompr
Instructs the driver to use highest compression level when writ-
ing compressed files. High CPU-load.
sparse + - -o sparse
Create new files as “sparse”. This feature allows creating holes
inside new created files (avoids filling unwritten space with ze-
roes). This option is not recommended in case NTFS partition is
used for BitTorrent downloads.
force + + -o force
Not recommended for use.
Forces the driver to mount partitions even if ‘dirty’ flag (volume
dirty) is set. It is recommended to use Paragon or OS-specific
file system checking utility before mounting ‘dirty’ partitions to
reset the ’dirty’ flag.
Note that if ‘dirty’ volume was mounted with ‘force’ mount option,
dirty flag will not be cleared when volume is unmounted using
umount command.
nohidden + - -o nohidden
Files with the Windows-specific HIDDEN attribute will not be
shown under Linux.
sys_im-
mutable
+ - -o sys_immutable
Files with the Windows-specific SYSTEM attribute will be marked
as system immutable files. This option is not supported for sym-
link/fifo/socket files.
acl + + -o acl
Support POSIX ACLs (Access Control Lists). Effective if sup-
ported by Kernel. Not to be confused with NTFS ACLs.
The option specified as acl enables support for POSIX ACLs.
Supported if driver is built with support for ext2-like handling of
file/directory permissions. Recommended for use with the HFS+
volumes.
