I suspect it says "not" rather than "now". (Sorry to seem picky, and the mistake is easy to spot here, but in troubleshooting, details matter, and a seemling harmless mistake in reporting error messages can lead to the wrong diagnosis.) And I'm assuming your try consists of a command like "mount -t ntfs /dev/hdXX /mnt/some_mount_point", with suitable choices for XX and some_mount_point .If not, plase tell us the exact command you enter and the exact error you get. >I'm running Red Hat 8.0 (sorry, no idea what the kernel version is - how >do I find this info?). "uname -a" normally reports it. >Can the kernel be patched to support NTFS? Probably ... though it does depend on the kernel version, RH8 is unlikely to use an old kernel by default. Recent kernels support read-only access to NTFS filesystems. If yours has the ntfs.o moule compiled, you can add it with "insmod ntfs" or (better) "modprobe ntfs". If it doesn't come with that module, you'll need to compile or get a kernel that does have it (either the module or actuallt compiled into the kernel). -- -------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA ray@comarre.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
