I suspect it says "not" rather than "now". (Sorry to seem picky, and the mistake is easy to spot here, but in troubleshooting, details matter, and a seemling harmless mistake in reporting error messages can lead to the wrong diagnosis.)OK...now that I can see all my partitions, how do I mount an NTFS partition? When I try, I receive the error "fs now supported by kernel."
And I'm assuming your try consists of a command like "mount -t ntfs /dev/hdXX /mnt/some_mount_point", with suitable choices for XX and some_mount_point .If not, plase tell us the exact command you enter and the exact error you get.
I'm running Red Hat 8.0 (sorry, no idea what the kernel version is - how do I find this info?).
"uname -a" normally reports it.
Probably ... though it does depend on the kernel version, RH8 is unlikely to use an old kernel by default. Recent kernels support read-only access to NTFS filesystems. If yours has the ntfs.o moule compiled, you can add it with "insmod ntfs" or (better) "modprobe ntfs". If it doesn't come with that module, you'll need to compile or get a kernel that does have it (either the module or actuallt compiled into the kernel).Can the kernel be patched to support NTFS?
