Greetings, I am not a windows user at all. So this has never come up for me personally. However, at my job we have several computer labs with RHEL 6 installations. A student who uses these labs has asked for support so they can read/write to a external drive formatted with a windows NTFS file system.
I see in EPEL there is a nfts-3g package that seems to "just work" [tm] I have done a little testing here with a external drive a co worker lent me that has ntfs on it. My concern would be that since its not "officially" supported by Red Hat, some user might write to their drive and loose their homework or something? Is this something I should be worried about? Does anyone have experiences with this package? Would it be possible to have a pop up dialog, perhaps via zenity, telling a user that using ntfs-3g could be dangerous, as a device is mounted with that filesystem? I didn't see an obvious way to do something like that after a little googling. Thanks for any ideas or experiences anyone has with this package...
