Question Mounting NTFS partition on Red Hat 9.0


Hello,
is there a way to mount NTFS partition on Red Hat 9.0? I have tried to change /etc/fstab and add the lines that made mounting NTFS partitions possible back when I was using old Mandrake 8.0, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, I.L.

mount -t ntfs /dev/hd?? /mountpoint
assuming your kernel has ntfs support built in
the write support is poor.
read support is great.
don't write to it.

Arrow RH 9.0 and NTFS

I am running RedHat 9.0 with NTFS (read-only, obviously). There are modules provided for RH9 @ http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html. Be sure to download the one for your kernel version (you can find out via uname -r). Just follow the installation instructions on the page and NTFS support will be available immediately. Hope this helps!

Ok, matter of fact i 'm talking about rh8. but everything is the same. I managed to mount 2 ntfs logical partitions (hdb5, and hdb6) yet i can't mount hdb1 (ntfs also), cause i get an error about mounting a logical partition or sth.
hdb1 is NTFS 40 gb long. maybe this is the case?
is there a limit 4 ntfs support that has sth to do with gb.
all this on Western Digital drives, which I love, and no disk has ever betrayed me. (i have 2 working perfect disks from the year of 95-96! 1.2 gb)

mr-banzai:
I download and installed the package for my RH 9 system and it works without a hitch so far. I was able to pull over files from my NTFS partition and move them to a backup system since aI am know having kernel errors with my XP boot up. Thanks for the link!!!
