Paragon NTFS for Linux 7.0 Public Beta Testing
Dear Forum Visitors,
For the past year Paragon Software Group has been working on a new version of Paragon NTFS for Linux 7.0. NTFS for Linux 7.0 is a driver allowing Linux users to access Microsoft NTFS file systems. With the new version, the driver has been significantly improved, and several bugs were fixed. The product is almost ready for market release and we want to offer you the Public Beta version. This is the first time that we've offered beta testing for this driver. We do it because we want to make Paragon NTFS for Linux a useful tool for every Linux user -- that is why we need your opinion about it. According to existing feedback, the main issue most users encounter when using our driver is with installation. So, if you choose to test the Beta version with us, please pay attention to the installation stage because it is important for us to make a driver that will support the most Linux distributions as possible. What we expect from you: 1. Bug reports (though we hope that there won't be many). If you find a bug, describe with details how it can be reproduced by our developers. We need every detail, every step (even if it seems minor). Please specify your Linux distribution and Linux kernel version. 2. Usability issues. We want to make the product as easy to use as possible. Write us with your suggestions on what you think we can improve upon or what should be changed. Make your suggestions both detailed and reasonable so we can understand what your concerns are as well as determine if possible to implement. To download the public beta version, please fill out a short web form: – www . paragon-software . com/home/ntfs-linux/betatesting . html (please delete space bars near dots) In addition, you can review the "How to install" readme file here: www . paragon-software . com/export/sites/paragonsoftware . com/home/ntfs-linux/ReadMe . txt (please delete space bars near dots) Our commitment to you: We will read your feedback in this thread very carefully. Please excuse (in advance) any perceived lack of replies to your posts. We won't be able to reply to all of them, but we will do "summary" replies once or twice a week in this thread. PS. We value this forum's community members very much. That's why we selected you for our Public beta testing. In exchange for your help, we will be glad to provide the most active beta testers with NTFS for Linux Professional Edition free of charge. Thank you in advance and best regards, Paragon NTFS for Linux team. |
Dear Forum Visitors,
Please note that our driver is much faster than NTFS-3g and we are also going to provide NTFS for Linux 7.0 Personal Edition free of charge for the Linux community (for non-commercial use only). Thanks. Best regards, Anatoly. |
Dear Forum Visitors,
We would like to provide the Linux Community with NTFS driver for Linux with the following main advantages: 1. Easy to install and use; 2. High performance and stability. Please help us to make this product bug-free, full-fledged and most-Linux compatible. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Anatoly. |
My company has bought the 6.0 production, and called me to try on. By using the install.sh, it can't work on Fedora Core 8 or 9. I had modified fs_conf.h and ufsdvfs.c to make the ufsd.ko manually. When using insmod, it display that:
insmod: error inserting './objfre/ufsd.ko': -1 Invalid module format So, I try the Paragon NTFS for Linux 7.0. It also has the same error: Install driver to kernel 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.23.1-42.fc8/kernel/external/ufsd/ufsd.ko': -1 Invalid module format Fix the problem, please. |
Tried building the BETA1 on openSuse 11.1 (linux-2.6.27.7-9) and got the following errors during the build.
I have been following this beta a long time. Is anything going to happen? Code:
gazerbeam:/home/martin/Desktop/junk # ./install.sh |
O.K., I tried it on my HP dv9700us laptop under Fedora 10 x86_64.
The listall.sh worked and, apparently, installed the driver. So I changed my fstab to looh like this: Code:
$ cat /Fedora/etc/fstab | grep Vista The mount failed, locking the system in the process. I had to do a hard power-off, and log in to my Ubuntu 9.04 test installation to undo the changes in fstab. I'm entering this note from the Ubuntu distro, hoping that I still have a F10 installation to boot back into. <edit> Back on F10, and the "recovery" partition seems intact. The plasma system crashed at the first logon, but a X-server reboot fixed that, and I suspect that that problem was caused by the hard reboot I was forced to do. </edit> |
Hello cykuo, mchristeson, PTrenholme,
Please contract Paragon Support Team: http://kb.paragon-software.com/paragon/templ/372.jsp So that I can help you to solve your issues. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Anatoly. |
Well Anatoly, I'd be happy to do that for you, but I can't get past the first page of the jsp you linked to above. The product list requires an entry, and NTFS for Linux is not available as a choice.
Nor does the form permit one to move on without an entry in that field. If you could fix the problem (by adding NTFS for Linux or specifying here what we should enter), then we would be able to proceed. |
Dear PTrenholme,
Please select "Paragon NTFS Drivers" as the Product Name. Then you will be allowed to select the version. Please specify "Paragon NTFS for Linux 6.0 Personal Edition" and proceed further. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Anatoly. |

Sworddancer, when you want to post a large file, "click" on the "Go Advanced" button at the bottom of the "Quick Reply" text entry box. Then, in the "Advanced" text entry box, you can either link the file as an attachment or post it in, highlight it, and click on the "Code" button at the top of the text box to surround it with [code] tags.

The driver works fine on Fedora 9 with kernel 2.6.25, but with kernel 2.6.27 it installs well, after that the system freezes during boot up.

Dear Sworddancer,
Thank you for your help. I have uploaded a new beta version - Beta 2. Please try to install it. If the issue still exists, please check: 1. Do you have this directory: "/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31-default/source" ? 2. Where the file: "/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-31-default/build/include/linux/vermagic.h" is located? 3. Please note, files like "vermagic.h" should be located either in "build/.../..." or "source/.../..." directories. Best regards, Anatoly. |
Same problem here
Hi there!
I have the same issue as Sworddancer with the final NTFS for Linux 7.0 driver. I'm trying to build the driver on Ubuntu 9.04, and the kernel headers are installed corectly (I guess) vermagic.h can be found in both places described above. Can anybody help? How could you solve this issue? thanks Andras |
