[olug] Mounting NTFS Under RedHat 7.1

[Eric Penne]

They are all correct.  The NTFS write support in linux is not great.  A
fixing utility (don't remember what it is) has to be run on the NTFS
volume before you reboot to win2k.  Reading from the drive is OK but
still experimental (Beta) and writing is still in limbo (alpha).  While
it can be done in 2.4 series kernels, it is not wise.  This has to be
compiled in or used as a module.
