How do you try to mount it?
What are the error messages?

| Did you compile it directly into the kernel or compile as a module? I had this problem once and for some reason using the ntfs module solved the problem. |

Er.. maybe I'm misunderstanding that but my suggestion was to keep it as a module, NOT to compile it in the kernel directly. With that said, if you do currently have it compiled as a module, make sure you either or autoload it. |

ummm uh oh ???
I compiled it right into the kernel and everything seems to be working fine. Should i recompile as a module and do a modprobe ntfs???
Yeah i just recompiled with it as a module and then did the modprobe ntfs. thanks for your help. |

I'd say if the file system isn't critical for boot, no harm in taking it out and making the kernel simpler. I'd stick with it as a module. Remember if you want it mounted automatically at boot to edit your fstab accordingly and put ntfs is modules.autoload.d.
Glad it worked out. |
