Ntfs support

hello,
I want to acces my other drives(NTFS) on my fedora 6......I had recomplied my kernel to 2.6.23....previously it was 2.6.18....
Also I had loaded driver for ntfs ie.......installed successfully ....fuse + ntfs-3g.....
Now I am able to accces my other ntfs drives.......
but what i need is that these drives should automatically mount during booting up.......
For that I had modified my /ftc/fstab also...
loke this
/mnt/data /dev/hda5 vfat defaults 0 0

but when I restart my system...It shows failure to mount fs..???and doens't mount ntfs filesystem.??????????why?????
and when I run commmand mount -a then also it mounts correctly...after that when I run umount -a ...it unmounts my all ntfs partitions and on shutting down my fedora it shows lot of errors ...some pid errors, some segment fault etc.....


why it is so????????

Is it possible to mount my ntfs during booting of my fedora...
please help...

Can we really NTFS mounts in linux ?

I doubt that.

I believe I had tried once and it didn't work and hence had to change the file system type to FAT32.

yeah we can .........
but it needs driver and kernel support for that.........

Am not aware of that!

Is there any supporting link on how to achieve this ?

Thanks

You need to put something like this in your /etc/fstab:
/mnt/data /dev/hda5 ntfs defaults 0 0
I had this thing working on Slackware12, Fedora7 and Debian Etch.


If that does not work then you might need to put:
/mnt/data /dev/hda5 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

I would leave NTFS well alone. It is not really an open format....

.......
I think you r correct when you use simple ntfs driver......
but what I had used is fuse & ntfs-3g driver to mount my drive..........

I also mount it like this:::Smilien terminal
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdb1 /mnt/cdrive
rather than.......
mount ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/cdrive........
