Mounting NTFS partition in Redhat 9?
I created /mnt/ntfs
I ran... mount -t ntfs /dev/hda /mnt/ntfs but it said... mount: fs type not supported by kernel Does this mean I can't view my ntfs partiton at all? I read that it was possible in Linux to do this...perhaps it depends on the Distro? |
try:
mount -t smbfs //windows_box_name/sharename /your_mountpoint -o username= cheers, kpanic |

R/W NTFS support in the kernel is still experimental and not turned on by default. To enable R/W NTFS support (locally), you will need to compile a custom kernel. cheers, kpanic |
If you want to be able to mount NTFS partitions under Redhat 9 you have to recompile the kernel and enable support for it.

hi,
i am using redhat9 and trying to mount a windows network drive. i use mount -t smbfs //windows_box_name/sharename /your_mountpoint -o username=user,password=pass it appears to mount ok, i can view and copy files but if i try and save a file there i receive the message 'permission denied' any help appreciated. greg |
You can get the rpm that will add ntfs support from http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html

thanks Crashed_Again
apologies, i think my problem may have been different to the original post and probably in the wrong place on reflection. im not actually trying to mount a ntfs drive. i am trying to access a w2k network drive and now have the solution my problem was i needed to include a uid mount -t smbfs //windows_box_name/sharename /your_mountpoint -o username=user,password=pass,uid=myuid |
