True. But that HOWTO will only work for a specific kernel. This can lead
to bitrot very quickly.

Also, you depend on the availability of that specific kernel module for
that specific kernel, which isn't guaranteed for older kernels or fairly
new kernels.

As a result, you may end up without support for NTFS and FUSE after
upgrading your kernel. dkms doesn't have that problem. (it might, but less
likely)


Noticed. By the way, my howto is just a general guideline, that's why
I let the readers know what kind of OS & kernel version I'm using.

Well, I should warn readers. Thanks Dag for pointing this out.

It is right there:

        fuse-ntfs-3g-1.417-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

I now noticed why you couldn't find it. I didn't add the proper
description for EL5 packages yet, so packages tagged with .el5. do not
have a nice description saying "Red Hat EL 5 - x86_64".

I'll fix that right away.


Thanks, and I'm now using the RHEL 5 package. It works as expected.
