Automounting NTFS partitions under SL 5.1
OS: SL 5.1 x86. How can one use NTFS partitions automatically, after he boots in SL 5.1 GNOME? I have installed fuse-ntfs-3g from the dag repository but I don't know what must be done after this. Or is the dkms version better? Anyway the ideal would be to be able to see all the NTFS partitions in GNOME nautilus. Thanks a lot.

ftp.scientificlinux.org is now up. The new test NFS kernel died when there was a NFS server problem. We have gone back to the prior kernel. -Connie Sieh On Mon, 11 Feb 2008, Winnie Lacesso wrote: Greetings, Is there some problem with ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org//linux/scientific/ http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/ ?

Hi, OS: SL 5.1 x86. How can one use NTFS partitions automatically, after he boots in SL 5.1 GNOME? I have installed fuse-ntfs-3g from the dag repository but I don't know what must be done after this. Or is the dkms version better? It's been a while since I last did this, but I remember I also downloaded the ntfs-3g RPM from Dag and from memory, I then just had to use the mount command to mount the NTFS partition. Do a rpm -ql on the package to see what it installs and what binaries are available to you, then man on some of those binaries. After you've figured that out, setup your fstab to automount those ntfs partitions on boot. Regards, Michael. Anyway the ideal would be to be able to see all the NTFS partitions in GNOME nautilus. Thanks a lot. --- End of Original Message ---

It was the one that Troy mentioned on Friday to fix NFS issues for SL5. -Connie Sieh I'm currently trying to decide whether to stop waiting for TUV to get their act together and just roll my own version of kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6 without the 4 patches which reduce nfs-client performance and adding in the nfs-server ACL patch (nfsd has had acl support broken since -53 as far as I can tell). If you mean -78 or -79 then those havn't been through much QA yet wich is why I'm not happy to put them in production yet. Most of my 'important' servers are *still* running sl4 and I'm still trying to decide if I trust them not to have slipped something into 2.6.9-67.0.4 which breaks nfs there as well so those are still using 2.6.9-67.0.1 at the moment... -- Jon

I had occasion to do this recently. I've just added a 500 Gbyte drive to a machine that dual boots Windows XP and Fedora 8. The new disk mounts ro fine, without specifying the filesystem. rw, it complained that the system was shutdown uncleanly, probably because it's hibernated. I guess mounting a disk rw when it's owner's hibernated is risky behaviour. I'm sure I did it first on SL5/C5, but I can't recall for the life of me which box. The system recognised the filesystem as ntfs which it doesn't support, but when I specified ntfs-3g it mounted without a problem. I suspect an alias statement in the modprobe configuration would tidy it up a bit; fstab is all well and good when the drives don't move around, but on systems mounting NTFS via USB, something better's needed. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-)
