Very Computer

I have brought my kernel up to 1.3.9 and compiled in all fs types.
Can't mount /dev/hda1 which is MS NTFS workstation 3.51 software.
Worked fine until I converted FAT to NTFS. I expected non-compatability
but am curious if there is a way.

One note:
When I try to mount the drive with HPFS:

thebeast:~# mount -t HPFS /dev/hda1  /ddos
mount: fs type HPFS not supported by kernel
thebeast:~#

I did compile in HPFS support in the make config portion of the make.

<clip from /usr/src/linux/.config>
CONFIG_EXT_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y
CONFIG_XIA_FS=y
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y
CONFIG_UMSDOS_FS=y
CONFIG_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y
CONFIG_HPFS_FS=y
CONFIG_SYSV_FS=y
CONFIG_SMB_FS=y

I will tweak out unneeded stuff later.

Am interested in any info,
Thanks to all,
Rick

Tried this and get:

mount: /dev/hda1 not a mount point

Note: Before I converted /dev/hda1 to NTFS, it mounted perfectly.

Additional Information:

thebeast:~# fdisk /dev/hda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1048.
This is larger than 1024, and may cause problems with some software.

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 1048 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot  Begin   Start     End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *       1       1     864  435424+   7  OS/2 HPFS
/dev/hda2         865     865    1023   80136    5  Extended
/dev/hda5         865     865    1023   80104+   6  DOS 16-bit >=32M

Command (m for help): q
thebeast:~#

/dev/hda1 is NT Workstation 3.51 NTFS with newshell (95 Alpha).
I can boot it up fine through Lilo and works as normal.

Current /etc/fstab:

thebeast:~# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hdb2       swap    swap    defaults
/dev/hdb1       /       ext2    defaults
/dev/hda1       /ddos   hpfs    defaults
/dev/hda5       /ddrive msdos   defaults
none            /proc   proc    defaults
thebeast:~#

Tried it with the /dev/hda1 line and without. also used to be 'msdos' in
the fs column.

Meanwhile, I use /dev/hda2 to "xfer" stuff between the 2 OS's.

Keep the ideas coming,
Thanks,
Rick

NTFS driver.  He's got a web page at
http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~loewis/ntfs/

You might check it out.  Currently, (or at least as of May 16) it is read-
only.
