134 <h4>Development Status</h4>
136 <p>Project is no longer developed. The key functionality is reached
137 by the latest released version. All its resources are available
138 @{[ a_href 'CVS.html.pl#source','here' ]} for download.</p>
142 <p>Captive was written to interface with the Linux kernel via
143 @{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]}.
144 Unfortunately, this project is no longer being maintained by its author.
145 Mounting of NTFS devices usually works, but is no longer supported by the
146 author of Captive. Always unmount the device by umount(8) command before shutting
147 down your GNU/Linux system.</p>
149 <p>A port of Captive to the newer
150 @{[ a_href 'http://fuse.sourceforge.net/','FUSE' ]}
151 interface has not yet been implemented.
152 There is an experimental LUFS-FUSE bridge called
153 @{[ a_href 'http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121684','lufis' ]}
154 that can be used in the meanwhile.
155 Also, the captive-cmdline(1) interface will get around any kernel compatibility

185 <p>since the computers that are need are about 100 and we need to install

193 <p>Ok, I'm impressed (@{[ a_href 'http://www.amunra.co.uk/archives/000028.php','Captive Review' ]})</p>
194 <p>Linux software generally has a reputation for having some great, novell
195 ideas, but often lacking in the general 'spit and polish' - difficult to
196 install, unreliable, and so on. However the latest program I have tried out
197 - Captive, is a breath of fresh air - simple to install and set up, and It
198 Just WorksTM. And not only that, it's probably one of the most useful and
199 technically impressive projects I've seen in a long time ...</p>
200 <p><span style="font-style: italic;">[ snip ]</span></p>
203 <p>I commend you for this project. I am currently using this on my XP NTFS
204 partitions and I am impressed that I can actually move, edit, and remove files
205 and directories with no apparent ill effects. This is very nice indeed.</p>
206 <p>I initially was skeptical because it uses wine and parts of ReactOS
207 (I have messed with this OS a few times), but you have proved me wrong. I have
208 noticed no lag on my system. I do notice the initial mounting process does
209 take slightly longer than the Linux-NTFS project. But, once I'm past that, it's
210 quite transparent.</p>
211 <p><span style="font-style: italic;">[ technical question cut ]</span></p>
214 <p>Just wanted to drop you a note and say "Excellent work!"</p>
215 <p>I just installed captive and it worked as advertized right out of the
216 rpm. Thanks, I've been holding off recompiling my kernel until NTFS is
217 supported out of the box for Redhat. Now I don't have to bother.</p>
218 <p>Thanks again and keep up the great work.</p>

284 <h2>LUFS Kernel Driver Module</h2>
286 <p>@{[ a_href 'http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/','LUFS' ]} (Linux Userland File
287 System) needs Linux kernel module driver (<i>lufs.o</i>) compatible with your
288 running Linux kernel. The binary driver is supplied already precompiled for many
289 Linux kernel versions in the binary packages above (<b>.i386.rpm</b> and
290 <b>_i386.deb</b> archives).</p>
292 <p>If you cannot <b>mount</b>(8) your NTFS filesystem you should run <span
293 class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> to see the reasons. It is always
294 recommended to upgrade to the latest stable kernel supplied by your GNU/Linux
295 distribution vendor. You may need to install package
296 <b>kernel-source</b> (Red Hat) or <b>kernel-headers</b> (Debian) matching your
297 Linux kernel version (<b>rpm -q kernel</b>) and re-run <span
298 class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span>.</p>
300 <p><b>WARNING:</b> This 'captive' package may modify your Linux kernel
301 sources matching your currently running kernel version. These minor
302 modifications may include a dependencies rebuild, compiling build tools, fixes of
303 several include files, etc. All the modifications are done at the mount(8) time
304 by the automatically executed <span class="quote">/usr/share/lufs/prepmod</span> script.
