captive-ntfs drivers rule!!

orange400 · 06-10-2004, 04:26 AM

I successfully installed fully stable NTFS read/write support onto my RH9 server!! It so completely utterly rocks. If anyone needs NTFS support, definately google it! captive-ntfs works by exploiting the NT5 kernel and it's NTFS driver. So you need to supply captive-ntfs with them. Then, on the first run, it builds and installs a module to the kernel. Then walla, r/w NTFS!

Just thought I'd share ...

explane how?

I installed captive 1.1.5 at Suse 9.1
I have the needed files for windows emul. ntfs.sys, ntokernel.exe
Everything is installed correct.

I get this error:

linux:~ # mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/captive-name
Captive NTFS v1.1.5. Check a new version at: http://www.jankratochvil.net/

The same thing is happening with my freshly installed Suse 9.2 .
I am trying the workaround recommended here for Suse9.1:
