Revision as of 16:02, 25 October 2007

support for ntfs does exist,
http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
http://marush.com/category/linux/rpm/rhel4/

But it may be simpler after we reach kernel 2.6.12 when FUSE support is included in the kernel.
If ntfs is going to fail everytime a kernel is upgraded it's too much hassle
