Q: Who knows whether it is possible, even with beta software?
Can kernel 2.4 to do this?
Re:OH. Don't bother. I'll be able to find it. I didn't know you could set unique permissions for a device upon mounting. Thanks for the tip though (fitting that 666 be used to mount NTFS
).Re:guy, on your comments about only reading the contents of your NTFS partition as root..I also had the same issue, my MP3's are on a NTFS drive and I wanted to play them through Linux, so I simply edited by /etc/fstab file to automatically mount it and gave it permissions of 666 so that I could read it. I don't remember the exact syntax, but the next time I get into Linux I'll post it here, if you're interested..Regards
Re:Danielshoes: I agree with guy about the NTFS, but in answer to your other question about the 2.4 kernel, I haven't encountered any incompatibilites with existing apps while using 2.4 (there definately shouldn't be any, but any app that's actively updated would fix such a serious bug very quickly).
Re:guy
READ the link I posted before. DO NOT write to a partition you value at all. The option is marked DANGEROUS for a reason.
Re:Ok, but how can I make my 2.2.x kernel write into an NTFS partition?
Do I must recompile kernel to 2.4? (I have no idea how to do this…
""")Will recompiling my kernel bring to my linux incopatibilities with the existing apps?
Re:Thanks for the link guy. I'll have to keep checking on that as I've been interested in NTFS rw support on Linux for quite a while. RO support is ok but I can only see the stuff as root (and that just ain't good to login or su to root just to play mp3's
).Re:check here for more info and tools to fix your partition once you've trashed it.

Re:Probably cuz it 's listed in the config options
. I have used this option (read-write) but not for very extensive purposes. I basically wanted to delete my Win2k registry, but there is no NTFS bootdisk so I booted into Linux recompiled the (2.4) kernel and then mounted the drive and sucessfully deleted the file. I never tried anything more complicated though so you definately want to be careful. I'd personally wait for that message to go from DANGEROUS to at least EXPERIMENTAL before trusting any data to it (and wait until it really gets stable before trusting any valuable data to it).Re:How do you know that kernel 2.4 can do it?
Re:NTFS read capabilty has been in the Kernels for a while, 2.4 will definetly do it. Write support has been in BETA from the beginning, and still continues to be. You may want to try it if you've backed up your NTFS drive..Regards
Re:Possible, but as the config says it's dangerous. Never tried it myself for just that reason. Read only is fine though. I have used that and it works fine.
