fs type not supported by kernel?

bitt_u · 03-12-2005, 07:48 AM

how do i see my windows directories and file in fedora core 3 linux?

try mounting your windows partition giving the following command:

mount -t vfat <mount dir> <mount point>

but first you check your /etc/fstab file. the windows partition should be mentioned over there. the fstype is fat32. the mount point can be any dir in fedora u wish to mount for eg. /usr/mountp....
the <mount dir> in the fstab is the partition on which you have windows.

ive just successfully mounted my ntfs partition for the first time in fedora core 2.

It was simple and easy, i followed this:

http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/instructions.html

ok fine got it!!!!
edit your fstab file in the following way:
/dev/Y /mnt/X ntfs users,owner,ro,umask=000 0 0
then type mount -a on your konsole.

you should be root of course for doing all this

So I was right that the Fedora kernel lacked ntfs support. Anyway I'm glad you got it working fine.

On a different note, it is possible to see Linux drives in Window$? If so, how?

there's a program called explore2fs. http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm

Two threads about the same problem have been merged. The solution seems to be more complete now. thegreat1, please don't double post. Post one thread and wait some time. Answers will come.
