Download Easy: Gentoo NTFS 3g

Tuesday, February 28, 2017

NTFS-3g supports the following USE flags:

external-fuse: Use external FUSE library instead of internal one. Must be disabled for unprivileged mounting to work.
acl: Adds support for Access Control Lists.
debug: Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
hal: Enable Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) support
suid: Enable setuid root for the program, with potential security risks. This flag allows simple users to mount an ntfs partition using ntfs-3g.
udev: Enable sys-fs/udev integration (device discovery, power and storage device support, etc)

Check the default state of the flags:

emerge -pv ntfs3g

Enable flags that you need and emerge this package.
