ntfs with linux?
Hey,
I just installed slack and I was wondering how I would be able to access my windows files from my slack partition. How do I mount an NTFS partition? TIA |
Put an entry like this
Code:
/dev/hda1 /XP ntfs user,umask=1000,ro,auto 1 0 NB: ntfs support as ro (read only) is okay, but rw (read write) is still experimental, and not recommended. |
usually what i do, i would make a small partition of a couple gigs using FAT32. If I ever need to access files between my WinXP and Linux box i would just make sure those files get put into that FAT32 storage area (being that you can safely read and write to it in both linux and winxp).
I usually dont mind trying experimental things but I cant risk corrupting my NTFS file system. Has anyone success stories writing to NTFS?? Also for a project....with an extra computer setup a samba file server, for file access network wide! AHH just trying to spark some flames!! :) |

I changed by FSTAB file and now when I try to mount /dev/hda1 i get a mount point not found error...

returned that particular error. Example... Code:
mingdao@james:~$ mount /mnt/let_me_guess We can assume you didn't create the mount point, but why make us guess? Did you make a mount point and what did you add to /etc/fstab? |
