Re: Mounting NTFS partitions....



I've compiled 2.1.119 and read-only seems to work fine, I've tried to mount
an NTFS partition as rw to check the beta write driver, I tried copying a 10
byte ascii file into the NTFS partition and the system crashed on the spot,
no ctrl-alt-del reboot, no nothing. Panicly, I booted my NT and thank god,
the partition remaind intact (it even had the new file in it;-), I guess I
should be happy with that, you should'nt play around with such experimental
drivers - not when it's  something as important as an NTFS partition on the
line.

BTW, what's this thing with not being able to set sound card parameters
while compiling the modules?? Not that I have any problem with setting it in
the /etc/conf.modules (that's after I almost took a shot at my machine
trying to figure out why my sound modules broke, I guess you really should
read 3 hours of docs while migrating to a new kernel ver. ;-)) still it's
strange...
