Re: [newbie] fstab problem
AFAIK: NTFS support is not turned on in the default configuration. It's still buggy, and dangerous. If you really want it, you'll have to build a kernel with it enabled. Best advice: Don't go there.

Re: [newbie] fstab problem
I have successfully configured the fstab file to mount the vfat partitions that are elswhere on the hard drive, but I can't get the ntfs partition to mount at boot. I think my one mounts at boot. All I need to do is type in the file name with the (long ) path and i am there. Below is my fstab Walter ~~~ 431 root@psybernet:/ (02:32:20) # more /etc/fstab /dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda7 /home ext3 noatime 1 2 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/windows ntfs user,uid=501,gid=501,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 432 root@psybernet:/ (02:32:27) # Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
