Linux NTFS

14:56:57 :: [Linux] :: 120 words

These gentlemen have put out an NTFS driver for Linux that’s as easy to compile into your kernel (or, easier still, install via RPM and modprobe) as any driver I’ve ever seen.

I came to 64-bit Fedora with the expectation that I would be able to access the other half of my hard drive easily, just mounting it with ntfs. Imagine my surprise when I found that it wasn’t in the kernel! Look to these guys for even 64-bit RPMs for Fedora Core 4 x86_64. (I was planning to be “That Guy” who built and sent in an rpm, but alas, someone beat me to it just yesterday.)

Their website has instructions, so I won’t echo them here. Get on it!

    gah, 64 bit fedora :drool:
    Sorry the other half of the harddrive problem didn’t work out :(
    Hey, my guess is that nobody looted a harddrive yet…feel like a road trip?

    Oh, it worked out—but only because of this driver! That was the point of the post, sorry. I should have been clearer.
