ntfs support - kernel option activated but still can't mount

Hi,
Is there something else to do than to check the NFTS support in the kernel config and to recompile it ?
I can't mount my disks...

Btw, is there a way to see what's really built into the running kernel ?

Did you build it as a module ? If so, did you modprobe it?

You can check /usr/src/linux/.config to see what you did/didn't include and whether it was a module or not.

There's also an option to have the kernel config available through /proc/config.gz - but you need to build that into the kernel.

Another possibility is that you don't have NTFS properly configured in your fstab file.

Your line should look something like this:

ok, I retried several days ago ... it works now. I think there was a desync between my .config (which must have been modified since the latest rebuild) and the kernel I was running...thanks !
