I have installed RedHat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18) in my server.

Within the server, there is a disk with NTFS partition.

I have tried to mount it, but it seems that filesystem the NTFS is not
recognized. I have used the following command:

mount -t NTFS /dev/hdc1 /mnt/nt


How can I do?


Thanks in advanced

RTFM: "man mount", search for "ntfs". You might want to begin with
writing "-t ntfs" in lower case. You also need support in your kernel.
There are plenty of docs about this subject, juts use google.

NTFS support is disabled by default in any RH install.
You will need to recompile your kernel.

You shouldve read the docs about NTFS when installing or even from
man mount

At least in RH7.2, NTFS support was not compiled by default. I had to
recomplie the kernel with NTFS support. NTFS support is not fully
matured at this point (or at least at that point, I am not 100% sure
about now). Linux could read the NTFS fine, but writing to the NTFS was
experimental and COULD result in disk errors IIRC.

Good Luck getting it fixed

Almost right: writing to NTFS *WILL* result in disk erros.
