To mount a FAT32 filesystem
automatically on Boot-up
Create a mount point first :
Open a shell and type :
su
Then type your root password – then type :
mkdir /mnt/windows
Then - open /etc/fstab with:
kedit /etc/fstab
Then - put an entry at the bottom of your /etc/fstab file on a new line - (just substitute in your Partition and Mount point in place of my example ones)
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0
To mount a
NTFS filesystem automatically on
Boot-up, put an entry at the bottom of your /etc/fstab file on a new line - (just substitute in your Partition and Mount point in place of my example ones)(remember to su to root and create a mount point etc etc as I showed in the last example)
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs auto,ro,umask=0222 0 0
( Red Hat currently doesn’t include a NTFS driver because of uncertainties surrounding the legal status of the driver)
So - to
READ a NTFS partition from Red Hat, you can either:
- Download and install an RPM – or
- Compile your kernel
Your best just getting the relevant RPM - Check out this site for an RPM
