Redhat do not supply an ntfs module with their kernel - linux ntfs code is too experimental.
However, linux can read ntfs partitions no worries. If your game enough to try kernel 2.5.2, it has newer NTFS support which supposidly can write aswell. I havnt tested this. You will need to compile a kernel yourself, with the NTFS option selected from the "File system options" menu in make xconfig. When this kernel is up and running, it should only be a matter of: # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/nt -t ntfs -o ro Or perhaps even just: # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/nt Dan. -- Dan Irwin - Systems Administrator Jackie's Wholesale Nurseries Pty Ltd Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 07 3888 2481 Fax: 07 3888 2530 Postal: 10 Gleeson Road Burpengary Queensland 4505 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.jackies.com.au > -----Original Message----- > From: King_Kong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, 11 January 2002 2:50 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Can we mount a NTFS partition for Linux? > > > > On Fri, 11 Jan 2002, Nalin Perera wrote: > > > Hi K_K, > > > > Does your both file systems reside on the same computer or > on 2 different > > computers? > > Ah, yeah, when I used NT as a gateway and my docs stay there. > I want to > access them by doing that command. > > So, 2 different computers, one is NT and one is RH Linux 7.0. ;) > > But, I never try with one computer having 1 or 2 (2 OS: NT, > Linux) hard > disks. > In this case I think you might customize your Kernel to > Support NTFS, in > "File Systems options - NTFS file system support (read only)". > > Note: it says "NTFS write support (DANGEROUS)".
