concerning 'NTFS driver for Linux?':
Anyone found/seen a good driver that'll allow my dual-boot Linux system to
access the NTFS volume?  Read-only's ok, though of course I'd prefer r/w.
I've tried one I found (can't recall the URL, but the README has the names
Martin von Lowis and Regis Duchesne in it) but it looks like I'm too stupid • to
get it to work.

IIRC, the kernel comes with one, the readonly isn't even experimental
- the readwrite is...  just grab the latest and recompile :)

Yep, it's in the 2.2 kernel. I assume that the write support will no longer by
experiemental in the upcomming 2.4 kernel, but until then make sure you can
recover from a trashed partition. I've tried it in readonly mode breifly, with
no complaints.

Steve Hodge

Hmm. I'm running 2.2.12, mount says that ntfs isn't supported. Is this something I should need a newer version (I see 2.2.13 & 14 on kernelnotes.org) or just some hints on how to use what I've already got? -- -Steven "Nothin' But Net!" (URL) Hodge" (...)
