NTFS Support on Fedora 6
Hi...
I want my XP's partition to be viewed in Fedora. I tried mount /dev/sda3 /mnt which gave mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' So i decided to recompile the kernel. I did make menuconfig, selected NTFS,. Then I did make bzImage. But it gave error as make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by `init/built-in.o'. Stop. make: *** [init] Error 2 Am i wrong somewhere.. Dhruv |
Hi,
I got the same problem on my mandriva system. I just read that http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ might help. Greets |
try to install the ntfs driver with yum. From memory it's ntfs-3g
|
yum not working
Hi
I tried some other options as suggested by you. but my yum gives following error [root@localhost /]# yum install fuse fuse-libs ntfs-3g ntfsprogs ntfsprogs-gnomevfs Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mir...re-6&arch=i386 error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (111, 'Connection refused')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core Wher am i wrong? kidly let me know Dhruv |
The OP just wants to view a ntfs partition and that is supported by every modern Linux. ntfs-3g is needed "ONLY" if a user wants to write on it.
A ntfs partition should be mounted on a defined mounting point previously created. Try this (purple bits are optional in many distros but may be required by Fedora) Code:
/sbin/mkdir /mnt/sda3 |
hii
I tried this at ery first place. but its giving unknown type ntfs. So I went for recompiling the kernel and including ntfs in it. But then its giving problem in compiling. DHruv |
