There are some Kernel patches for 2.4 that enhance support for NTFS and make write support less dangerous. Also, if you patch your Kernel for ACL-based security, you can even make use of the ACL data in the NTFS partition table, provided you have access to or are hosting a Windows SAM database.

I'm feeling totally confused. I just installed RH9 on a new drive. On the old drive I have win2k. (No flames please I have to have it for work.) I would like to be able to read or even pull some files off of the win2k drive. Should be simple except that RH9 does not include NTFS support in the kernel So I installed the Kernel-NTFS RPM. Still no joy when I type mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win I get error msg wrong fs type, bad option,blah, blah blah. maybe I'm not listing the drive correctly in cmos RH is on HDD0 Win2k is on HDD1 I thought the correct designation would be hdb1 for the mount command. When I took a peek under /dev is show hda1 thru hda 29 and hdb1 thru hdb30. I also show similar for hdc, hdd, hde, hdf and on trough hdt. (WTF???) I don't remember this kind of thing under Mandrake or SuSE. Thanks _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
