Samy, Chris, It's not _guaranteed_ that you'll damage your NTFS file system. I've used it several times in write mode with no problems, but have had problems on other occasions. The driver is listed as VERY experimental in write mode, and deservedly so. To my knowledge, read mode has not caused any problems, as Chris indicates.

If I'm not mistaken, read works pretty well, and if you want to trash your fs, you can use write. It's been in the works for quite awhile, but it is apparently very difficult on the write side of things. Yes, you have to compile the module, and there should be docs for it in your linux source directory. chris (this was also written by a five y/o child!) :> > > From: "Rengasamy, Samy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2002/04/15 Mon PM 06:15:25 EDT > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: General Linux Question > > How to access NTFS from Linux? > > Is there an easy way to access NTFS File system from SuSe Linux in a dual > boot PC? > > Do I have to recompile the kernel to do this? > > Thanks, > > Samy Rengasamy. >
