I know a hdd with ext3 and vfat works well using usb.

I am running Redhat FC3.

Since the drive did not automount like the ext3 and vfat I tried the mount command.

I get the following error (not supported):


I've not tried it, but you may need to compile a custom kernel.

Yes, I can't remember where I found it. I think somewhere on FedoraNews.org. There was an article there explaining that you had to, and how to, compile a custom, ntfs-capable, kernel(ro or rw) in FC. The reasoning was that NTFS read/write is still considered experimental. Klaus Knopper, the folks at PHLAK, and others seem to have "experimented" successfully with it for some time now.
