As Francois says, check /proc/filesystems. If you don't find ntfs there, you'll have to build a new kernel (not as scary as it sounds). http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html covers ALL the details. If you have a RedHat system, then install the kernel source and you'll find a .config that matches your system. You just need to select NTFS support. If you have any more questions or problems please go to our NTFS help forum: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=44085 Cheers, FlatCap (Rich) ntfs@flatcap.org - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" 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.tux.org/lkml/
