+      proprietary journaling file system developed by Microsoft.  It
+      has become the default file system in Microsoft &windows; for
+      many years.  &os; can mount NTFS volumes using a &man.fusefs.5;
+      file system.  These file systems are implemented as user space
+      programs which interact with the &man.fusefs.5; kernel module
+      via a well defined interface.</para>
