All you need is the compatible kernel module, which very well may mean you need to recompile the kernel to add it. You'll very likely need to specify explicitly that you want NTFS when you mount the device. You might not be able to do this from fstab. Remember, NTFS is proprietary, and depending on version, not compatible with NTFS ! Micro$oft is well known for undocumented gotcha's ! *I* would use something else, probably VFAT. That means that yes, you can add NTFS, but it is strictly experimental, will probably change with the next version of Windows, should be read-only, *and* carries a very high risk of destroying the filesystem if you do decide to experiment. *I* have had good luck recovering NTFS devices, but there is a method to the madness. Read-only under *nix. I can then work on the files under *nix, save the work on an ext3 system, then copy it back to the NTFS device using a M$ OS compatible with that version of NTFS. Finally, double-check that system using a M$ OS and M$ OS file system tools designed specifically for that purpose. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men. -- Kin Hubbard _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
