I've never see the ntfs file server option. Maybe I should examine the kernel options more carefully...
Are you sure that you're not getting confused with NFS, the *nix equivalent of windows file sharing (aka. smb). NTFS is just one little module, with a coulpe of options, read support, and write support (write = very dangerous if you ever want to boot back to windows, and dangerous anyway). For what its worth, if you reinstall windows its a nice idea to have a fat32 partition for your data, which can be easily shared with safe read/write support under linux, and an NTFS partition for your OS and programs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hansen Loke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CLUG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 8:22 AM Subject: Re: /etc/fstab [was: Re: Install Fest Post Mortem] > ok, this will be my last try before a complete reinstallation of linux > (hopefully with ntfs filesystem as well).
