Post Use 3gntfs to create NTFS layout on raw storage device?
Dear developers,

Can the 3gntfs be used to initialize a raw storage device into NTFS layout ?
Later after some usage,
- probably we need some kind of "Check disk for errors & repair" function, do you offer it ?
- what about resizing an NTFS layout (suppose the storage memory size will grow after an upgrade)?

we a suppose to use it under a linux environment.
thanks.

The utility "mkntfs" (developed by the linux-ntfs project) can format a partition as ntfs (type man mkntfs).

None known so far on Linux, "chkdsk" on Windows is not so bad.

There is "ntfsresize" (also from the linux-ntfs project) (type man ntfsresize).
