2-1, Question does not show research effort. It's pretty easy to find documentation about NTFS in Ubuntu, for example. – slhck May 14 '12 at 12:06

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? – slhck May 14 '12 at 12:10

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
/homeeither, because you can't set POSIX ownership or permissions on it. – Shadur-don't-feed-the-AI Jan 11 '16 at 21:13 -
