Mounting second drive(NTFS) in RH9
I had WinXP(NTFS) on my hd, I put in a second drive and installed rh9. i think i made the linux drive the master and win drive the slave. i want linux to automatically mount the second drive (NTFS) permanently, i've looked at other threads and just can't find anything exactly like my problem or anything that i can figure out how to adapt to my problem.
(a side question - why when i was trying to make this work did the drive i made in /mnt continuously disappear every time i restarted my computer) please help, thanks i'm a :newbie: and i am stumped :scratch: |
you need to add an entry to your /etc/fstab that looks something like
/dev/windows_partition /mnt/windows ntfs ro 0 0 have a look in the rute users guide or something similar for mounting filesystems, this should exlpain /etc/fstab and answer your side question. |
You will need to download and install the NTFS support RPM.
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ For more information on the setup, take a look at these threads. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=80289 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=86951 Note: NTFS support is Read-Only. :eek: Do NOT write to NTFS from Linux. :tisk: It may corrupt your NTFS filesystem. :cry: |
i got it without downloading anything, thanks to both people that replied, all set now, untill the next question that is....
