mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel
was the error I got. Is there a module I load to fix this or must I
recompile the kernel? If there is a module I need to load - which and
how?
You'll need to install the kernel source tree with rpm.
I'm on Redhat 8 so these instructions may vary slightly if you are on
and earlier version:-
"cd /usr/src/linux-2.4" # this is a symlink to the source tree.
edit the Makefile and make sure that VERSION, PATCHLEVEL,SUBLEVEL
and EXTRAVERSION match the current running kernel ("uname -r")
Then "make menuconfig" and go down to File Systems. In there you'll
find "NTFS file system support" - make it a module and exit menuconfig, saving
the setup.
"make modules && make modules_install" will build and install the ntfs module.
Then you can "modprobe ntfs" - if that loads you should be able to mount
your ntfs partion read-only.
