hallo all

i would like to install a kernel module on my fc4 so i can see my ntfs drive

cam someone please give me a link or something to this kind of kernel module

and a tutorial for installing it?


thanks

well if the kernel does not have ntfs support for NTFS FS
you can check that by
cat /proc/partitions

You will get a list of supported partitions
also try
modprobe ntfs

if you want to avoid kernel compilation and install the kenrel module then visit
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/

regards

thanks for your reply
i installed the rpm and it works now


but i have a new problem

i mounted /dev/hdb2 on /mnt/fat32

that is a fat32 partiton that i have

and now i can see it but not write to it....

how can i wirte to a fat32 partiton?

edit your /etc/fstab, add an entry for your fat32 partition, and add as an option (last column) umask=000

The kernel doesn't have full write support yet if ever. Ms will never release any source code. if you need safe write support google captive-ntfs or you can create a small fat32 partition to share files with windows.

ok here is the file

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

/dev/hdd /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0



what line am i supose to add so i can write to my fat32 partiton?

EDIT : Ignore this post, i hit send by accident!

add

/dev/hdb2/ mnt/fat32 vfat umask=000 0 0

Someone check that, im still a bit of a newb to linux!
