HEPB Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 I've installed Red Hat 8, and i can't mount my NTFS's, take a look at snapshot. P.S. The another file system is Windows XP NTFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werwolf Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 have you been to the Linux NTFS Project yet? you need to install the appropriate rpm before you can mount an NTFS partition, redhat doesnt come with out of the box support for it, and just so you know, even when it is mounted, there is only readonly support for NTFS at this time, but yeah, follow the instructions on the page and you should be mounted in no time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniacid Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 yea goto the Linux NTFS site, easy to set up, but like he said you can only read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techquilla Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 i tried adding the line on the /etc/fstab so that it would mount my ntfs drive on startup according to the linux NTFS project site, but then when i reboot, there is a part that says the fstab line 10 is bad.. can you guys tell me what's wrong...anyway, this is what i added.... /dev/hda1 /mnt/winXP ntfs ro, umask=0222 0 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werwolf Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 just a couple of thoughts, because the syntax looks fine, change the umask to umask=0000 and move it up in fstab, so its not the last entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderRiver Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 Well, you could compile your own kernel to enable "Write" feature for NTFS, but since NTFS is not open source, so people tried to reverse engineer the code. Thus, it is dangerous to enable Write feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagal Posted January 26, 2003 Share Posted January 26, 2003 iomayho: change the line to the line below and make sure you add a blank line at the end of the file (press enter). /dev/hda1 /mnt/c ntfs noauto,user,uid=500,gid=500,umask=007 0 0 one more thing before you add this...type (in normal user terminal). "username" is the username you are using cat /etc/passwd | grep username and that should give you an output like username:x:500:500:realname:/home/username:/bin/bash if you have anything different than the 500, change the fstab line that I posed accordingly. good luck.
