Ths issue is that the NTFS module isn't built into Fedora, you non-FC user :P Not sure where you'd find the NTFS support, as I just recompiled 2.6 with NTFS support (and I use captive normally, anyway). - Chun-Yu -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ow Mun Heng Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 1:59 AM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Mount ntfs > -----Original Message----- > From: Randall Crunk [mailto:crunkrb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 2:53 PM > To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Mount ntfs > > > Is there any simple way to mount the ntfs partition read only in > Fedora? > I have been Googling for hours.

You want to moun ntfs as read only. AFAIK, ntfs support in linux _is_ read only. Write support is 'dangerous' but I do here there's the program called 'captive' which is supposed to do that properly. Then... you talk about fat32 partition.. fat32 is not the same as ntfs.. so.. if you want to mount a ntfs partition, you use mount -t ntfs... if you want to mount fat32 you do.. mount -t vfat.. so.. what exactly is it you wanted again??? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
