No, you are wrong! You don't understand HOW mounting works on Linux. You are using BAD scientific method. You are looking at results instead of looking at the process. WHEN you type mount -t nfts ...... (or when you put a line in your /etc/fstab, and run mount -a like is done in /etc/rc.sysinit when your system boots) the mount command runs. It looks at its command line arguments and sees that you are trying to mount an NFTS filesystem. mount knows nothing about how to mount an NTFS filesystem. It instead invokes *another* tool to do the work for it. This tool is called mount.ntfs and it lives in the /sbin directory. And it you quesry RPM for it: rpm -qf /sbin/mount.ntfs you'll find that it comes from the ntfs-3g RPM. *NOT* from the ntfs-3g-devel RPM. In fact, here is the file list from my (FC6) ntfs-3g-devel RPM: > > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13556 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/attrib.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1745 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/attrlist.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2568 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/bitmap.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1591 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/bootsect.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1380 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/collate.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1506 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/compat.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1189 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/compress.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1549 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/debug.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4831 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/device.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2064 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/device_io.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3495 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/dir.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6711 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/endians.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4927 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/index.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6711 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/inode.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 108363 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/layout.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1732 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/lcnalloc.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5217 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/list.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16361 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/logfile.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5520 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/logging.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4426 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/mft.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1295 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/mst.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2397 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/ntfstime.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3138 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/runlist.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1978 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/security.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2268 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/support.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3009 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/types.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2596 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/unistr.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1120 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/version.h > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8362 May 15 21:19 /usr/include/ntfs-3g/volume.h > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 15 21:19 /usr/lib/libntfs-3g.so -> libntfs-3g.so.2.0.0 There is *NOT* 1 single executable file in this package anywheres! Please Karl, GET A CLUE! > Lay off calling me stupid. Look at your self in a mirror :-) Karl, you really need to take a step back and look at yourself. It really is sad to see someone exclaim so vehemently that they are right when they are so wrong. I'm beginning to wonder it you have some kind of problem. I've watched you post messages here for a couple of months now, and you're getting worse all the time. Why is it that so many other people seem to get along just fine and you have this problem with so many of them? > Karl -- Kevin J.
