mount NTFS partitions
how can i mount a NTFS partition?

So long as your kernel supports NTFS (I would imagine it does) you can simply use the normal mount command
Code:
mount /dev/hdXN /someDir/ HTH and welcome to LinuxQuestions. Jamie... |
Since you are using RedHat9, you have to get the module first. Don't panic - NO compiling involved...
Simply go to: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html and follow the instructions. If they don't have the newest kernel module there, just wait a little, they will put it on the page pretty soon. RedHat did not include NTFS support because of copyright conzerns. (Just in case you were wondering....) best regards Klaus |
Hi Heinrich
To mount a NTFS filesystem on Boot-up were all users have Read access, put an entry at the bottom of your /etc/fstab file on a new line - (just substitute in your Partition, Mount point and User ID Number ( uid ) in place of my example ones) /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs auto,ro,umask=222,uid=501 0 0 You can get your User ID Number by opening a command line and typing: id username – (substitute username with whatever your username is) Look for the: uid=xxx That's your user id number. As Codecruncher mentioned - Red Hat currently doesn’t include a NTFS driver because of uncertainties surrounding the legal status of the driver Get the RPM from: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html |
