What is the fstab line that mounts NTFS? I've forgotten what it was in Fedora n- Not having used Fedora since 4/5 around there...

just make sure u have kmod-ntfs installed and put ntfs in the filesystem column
I would rather recommend yum install ntfs-config
and use the GUI tool to mount ntfs partition automatically using ntfs-3g

Here's my setup (I included the grub file, which is, for reasons I don't recall, on the second HDD):
[root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 7 (Moonshine) [root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup01/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs-3g users,rw 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 ext3 users,rw 0 0 [root@localhost ~]# [root@localhost ~]# cat /mnt/sd sda1/ sdb1/ sdb2/ [root@localhost ~]# cat /mnt/sdb1/grub/grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.

does that help?
useful commands relating to this are "mount" (by itself) and "fdisk -l"

Thanks all - Will probably use Hikaru's suggestion.
Hi Martin,
yum install ntfs-3g ntfsprogs
/etc/fstab ... /dev/sdX /mnt/XXX ntfs defaults 0 0
that should do the trick. And you may not need to install the kmod-ntfs kernel module either. The issue with the kernel module is that you will need to ensure that the latest kernel-module releases are synched with your kernel upgrades.
I have tried both and find the above fuse based system better :-)
later, Rogue

I installed ntfs-config as per Hikaru's email and that set my fstab up for me. Thanks anyway!

Shouldn't that be ntfs-3g instead of ntfs if you are going to use ntfs-3g?
I just specify ntfs in my /etc/fstab file and the mount still works fine! And no errors in /var/log/messages either. So I guess the module supports this too.
