Hello there,

would really appreciate some help, I have some NTFS partitions on another computer which I am able to mount on this computer using NFS. The only problem is I do not see any files. I see the mounted NTFS folders from the remote computer in the base level folder, such as
/mnt/c_drive
/mnt/d_drive
but the remote computer doesn't see anything inside them, whereas the local computer that mounted the NTFS partitions sees the contents, why arent the files being sent through NFS? So I return to my initial question, is it possible to view an NTFS partition using NFS on another computer?

It is possible in SuSe linux but in another version of linux u have to compile your kernal with ntfs support

Check out the following link

Thanks, so what your saying is that if i install ntfs kernel support on this computer then i will be able to mount the nfs shares (that are ntfs on the remote computer shared with nfs). Really? I have just had to reinstall everything :-( due to a crash last nite during a huge update... i will give it a try when i set yum up...

Why not use the built-in Windows file sharing ? The common distros (including Fedora and Red Hat) include the Samba client files for mount to use SMB/CIFS/Windows File Sharing.

So I can mount a Samba share into a local folder?


...oh yes that is possible:

mount -t smbfs -o user=username ,password=password //ComputerName /ShareName /mount/path

Few too many spaces there.
