    NTFS in RH 8.0



    How can I tell if my RH 8.0 has NTFS support built into the kernel.

    When I do

    Code:
    lsmod | grep ntfs

    Code:

    Basically I'm trying to setup Samba and NFS and I want to know if NTFS is already built in or not cause i will network my linux machines with my W2K box.

    thanks

    Re:NTFS in RH 8.0

    I believe the module is called "ntfs" (not positive on this one, but it makes sense...you could always check with a make xconfig). You could try a "modprobe ntfs" and see if it gets mad at you. If it has no complaints then you're good to go.

    Re:NTFS in RH 8.0

    hello,
    try modprobe -l | grep ntfs instead of lsmod - lsmod only lists loaded modules, ntfs is not enabled by default under redhat 8.0 but - unless you are mount a drive local to the same machine as teh redhat one you don't need. to network the two all you need to load is smbfs and then issue a mount -t smbfs //otherOS/share /mount/point - it will prompt for a password if needed.

    You are correct, the module is called
    Code:
     
    
    kernel-ntfs-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm

    I've installed the rpm, but when I modprobe this sucker, this is the output:

    Code:
     
    
    [root@phoenix tmp]# modprobe ntfs

    /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.o: insmod ntfs failed

    Not sure what I am doing wrong here. Does NTFS come preloaded into the kernel? I have heard this.

    thanks

    hello,
    have you run depmod -a after installing this?

    Re:NTFS in RH 8.0


    Let me ask you this before I go any further.

    I have a network with a RH 8.0 box and a dual boot Debian/W2K box.

    The W2K filesystem is NTFS. Do I need to add NTFS into the kernels onto my Linux boxes to mount/view the W2K file system?

    thanks

    hello,
    making (or getting) the module ntfs will be sufficient for view it on the local machine, to view it from a network you need smbfs instead. insert whatever module by doing a modprobe modulename

    Re:NTFS in RH 8.0


    I have an AMD cpu, does it make a difference? Because I've downloaded the i386 and I think that that maybe the problem.

    Do I need a i686 or Athlon NTFS module?

    Here is my cpu info

    Code:
     
    
    [root@phoenix tmp]# cat /proc/cpuinfo
    processor       : 0
    vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD

    Okay, so redhat has a ntfs enabled kernel -- cool. But, are you booting it? If you load the old kernel, then you aren't loading any ntfs stuff.

    having an athlon would not hurt at all, it is completely compatible with the i386.
