I would like to mount an ntfs disk on my Linux Redhat 9.0 system, so that I can access windows dlls. It is on another partition on my disk. When I try to mount it, for example, mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /winroot I get the error message: mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel Do I need to do something special to build in kernel support for ntfs? I get the impression it is supported based on the options described on the man page for mount, so I'm not sure what is wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Mike Crowe
The kernel has options for supporting NT that can be modules or built in. In addtion the mount -a will only pick up what's in /etc/fstab with an auto label.> > From: <mcrowe@cox.net> > Date: 2004/01/07 Wed PM 03:14:47 EST > To: wine-users@winehq.org > Subject: Mounting an ntfs disk > > I would like to mount an ntfs disk on my > Linux Redhat 9.0 system, so that I can > access windows dlls.

Use either http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ or http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ if you want read/write support. Regards, Nerijus
