Dear Kamal,
Even though i haven't done a full installation
of RedHat 7.3 , ( as i don't have the the full installation cd with me as
of now . but planning to purchase it in few days ) , i have seen that by
default you will not NTFS kernel support in RedHat 7.x series including
RedHat 7.3. You have do the following steps to achieve the same
a) install the RedHat 7.2 with kernel sources. by this you will get a
directory called as /usr/src/linux-$version. you should find the nfts
support in /usr/src/linux-$version/fs/ntfs
b) recompile your kernel with ntfs filesystem support and make new bzImage
by doing this you will get a ntfs.o file
That's it
Let me know once you are thru with this
Regards
K.Deepak
