Summary : NTFS Utilities which can damage your filesystem such that Windows can't read it
Description :
These are programs which are considered non-functional or only test-oriented. They are kept in the source
tarball so that volunteers can capitalize on them for improvement.
In particular ntfsck is just a place holder. Distributions are expected not to recommend inserting a positive value in the last field of /etc/fstab for ntfs partitions.
They have been orphaned for ten years and are unlikely to be upgraded (except ntfsfallocate, if there is some demand).
