I couldn't find this type in fdisk's list ... /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help Windows NT NTFS support (read only) CONFIG_NTFS_FS NTFS is the file system of Microsoft Windows NT. Say Y if you want to get read access to files on NTFS partitions of your hard drive. The Linux NTFS driver supports most of the mount options of the VFAT driver, see Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt. Saying Y here will give you read-only access to NTFS partitions. This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called ntfs.o. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. NTFS read-write support (experimental) CONFIG_NTFS_RW If you say Y here, you will (hopefully) be able to write to NTFS file systems as well as read from them. The read-write support in NTFS is far from being complete and is not well tested. If you enable this, back up your NTFS volume first since it may get damaged. If unsure, say N. Thats is from a 2.2.14 source tree, however i belive all 2.2.xx kernels support it. > BTW, is there any difference between "clasic" NTFS and NTFS5 used in > Windows 2000?
