Q: Can someone tell me how can I create a NTFS partition on an IDE hard disk (primary master) from RedHat8.0 on another HDD (primary slave)?
According a FAQ document here (http://www access. ($ MySite) / guides / viewfaq.html? I = 121), and Linux “kernels (all 2.4.x and 2.2.x many) do not support NTFS-only read mode
Ive am RedHat8.0 installed on my spare PC, which uses kernel 4/2/1918, so I thought if I follow the instructions in the document step by step it should work . I was wrong!
My Linux box gives me error:
mount: fs type NTFS not supported by kernel
I was able to make a FAT partition on the primary master HDD. Does this mean that RH8.0 does not support NTFS and thus contradicts the document I found in the FAQ?
Best Answer: I strongly recommend you download this:

Just scan your PC with it and it should recover any files that you lost. Good luck!

Re:all i did is install some RPM and load a module when i used redhat these rpms should do the trick (http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html)

Re:You will need to compile a new kernel, redhat's kernel is not going to support ntfs by default.
There is a kernel-source rpm on the 2nd or 3rd redhat CD, install this RPM then do the following from a command line:
1. cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
2. make mrproper
3. cp -p configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config .config
4. make oldconfig
5. make menuconfig (or xconfig)
6. Within here in the file system area make sure to check off ntfs
7. make dep
8. make bzImage
9. make modules
10. make modules_install
11. make install
Now before #2 you have the option to edit the Makefile located in /usr/src/linux-2.4/Makefile. There is a line around line 3 or 4 with an EXTRAVERSION flag, you can tack on something to this so you can easily identify your kernel (I prefer to add the date the kernel was compiled).
After each step has completed and you are done, reboot and select the new kernel in the grub menu, it should be there.
This is a real rough layout of compiling a new kernel, following these steps you can't really break your system, you may just have issues if you aren't sure what you are doing. Step 3 assumes you have some newer intel processor, there are config files there for various setups located in that folder (athlon, smp, athlon-smp, etc.)

Hopefully that can help too.

Re:I'm not sure if NTFS Read is included in Experimental or not. I'm POSITIVE that writing is since they are still having problems with it.
If it says NTFS isn't supported in your kernel, you'll have to rebuild your kernel.
Linux Kernel HOWTO (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html)
And under "File Systems", be sure to include NTFS Read support. Then go ahead and see if the FAQ works.
