i can successfully mount and read an NTFS partition
i have ntfsprogs
Code:
monster linux # echo $PATH
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
monster linux # which ntfsresize
/usr/sbin/ntfsresize
monster linux # which mkntfs
/usr/sbin/mkntfs
I used QTParted on Knoppix to resize a NTFS partition once, however when I try now on my own computer after emerging qtparted and ntfsprogs, i get:
Code:
monster hedpe # qtparted
No Implementation: Support for opening ntfs file systems is not implemented yet.
why is it telling me there is no support?
Because Parted doesn't support NTFS, only QTParted does via the ntfsprogs package (and not the NTFS kernel driver). The above message is bogus, irrelevant and useless. Just report it to the developer and ignore it.
It is either different versions, or you haven't compiled support for NTFS operations into the kernel?
None of them. QTParted doesn't need NTFS kernel support at all. The message is from Parted but it's irrelevant because Parted indeed doesn't have NTFS support. Qtparted uses only ntfsprogs to deal with NTFS.
If hedpe has a problem with partitioning then that is due to some other problem (e.g. partitions are mounted).
