Can you mount NTFS shares w/ RH 9.0

I have several NTFS drives on a dual boot workstation (RH 9.0 and XP Pro)

What can I do to mount those drives and read info from them?

You need an entry in your /etc/fstab file. It should look something like this:

Code:

/dev/hde1 /mnt/win_c ntfs nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0

Linux currently doesn´t support writing to an NTFS partition. There is a project to add this support, but doing this is considered experimental.

Ah... thanks

I also have a few scsi drives I can not see or mount... I don't have fdsik however... is there any way to see these drives?

RH does not install NTFS support by default. You can download the RPM from sourceforge.

You should have fdisk or cfdisk installed. fdisk is located in /sbin and /sbin is usually not in a users path. Also you need to be logged in as root to use this utility. I do not run RH but its hardware GUI should show the SCSI devices.

To see all scsi devices try running the following console command:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
