Question Filesystem read from windows to linux.


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Hi Friends,
Presently our svn(subversion) server is running on windows environment. Need to move svn from Windows to Linux. All the testing regarding movement from windows to linux completed but we are not able to read the data in linux envirnoment. error we are finding is - "Coulnot open the filesystem".
Issue which i think is that windows file system which linux is not able to read.

Please suggest me how to change the filesystem from windows to linux hence we can able to see the data.

FYI - Data is all kind of files like text,pdf,videos,excell etc


Also we check all the files with the help of browser only.

Thanks in advance. Let me know if anyone need more info regarding this.

Please help me as its very important for me.

Thanks and Regards

Ashish

I guess you're trying to read NTFS filesystem. Linux has no built-in support for NTFS, but there are ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g.

There's nothing to explore, just install the package provided by your distro and read the manual.

You can recompile the kernel to allow NTFS read.

Search google for ntfs-3g and just install this on your computer. You can also compile a new kernel that support ntfs. Let me know if you got problem in kernel compilation.

Thanks
