Hello Neil,
OK, I'll give ntfs-3g a shot. It looks OK, except it says it
does not
work with compress files?
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_NTFS_write_with_ntfs-3g
"It provides full read-write access to NTFS, but
currently lacks support for
encrypted and compressed files and POSIX attributes. "
so does it work with zip, tar, bz and compressed files?
Looking at the above wiki
and this wiki:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Mount
_Windows_partitions_%28DOS%2C_FAT%2C_NTFS%29
There seems to be some conflict on setting up the drive and
the kernel.
Do I need ntfs support compiled into the kernel?
I tried to follow the first page, verbatim and got this
error:
# ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows <yes I made the
/mnt/windows dir>
Error reading bootsector: Input/output error
Failed to startup volume: Input/output error
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error
NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot
it TWICE!
The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No
modification was
made to NTFS by this software.
But it seems to be working. I can cd into it and
edit files with vi.
Moving a pdf file worked too..
THANKS NEIL!
James
