Due to legal worries, the kernel that RedHat and Fedora install don't support NTFS. You can download an RPM (Software Package) to provide NTFS support. The RPM comes with detailed instructions.
There are many proprietary programs to resize an NTFS Volume, but they are all expensive. Now, there's a free alternative: ntfsresize. It even comes with complete source code.
These pages describe how to use the userspace tools we have written. Have a look at the Status Page to see what other tools may be coming soon.
This guide helps you through building your own kernel. It makes reference to the Kernel HOWTO - http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html (the definitive guide).
This is only of interest to programmers. It is a very brief guide to reading a file from an NTFS Volume. Hopefully, it will servce as an overview of NTFS, making the NTFS Documentation more accessible.
The NTFS documentation shows the on-disk format of an NTFS volume. Windows NT, 2000 and XP use NTFS, a filesystem resembling a database.
The LDM documentation shows the on-disk structure of the Logical Disk Manager database. Windows 2000 and XP use the LDM to support Dynamic Disks which allow the creation of Striped, Spanned, Mirrored and RAID5 volumes. The partitioning scheme is held in a database at the end of the physical disk.
