Hi when i try to do 'mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d' system hangs and i can't kill mount.
My partitions are:

Code:
 Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1               1         383     3076416   12  Compaq diagnostics
/dev/hda2   *         384        2310    15478627+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3            2311        8488    49624785    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda4            8489        9733    10000462+  83  Linux
/dev/hda5            2311        5515    25744131    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda6            5516        8430    23414706    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda7            8431        8488      465853+  82  Linux swap / Solaris


I compiled the kernel using this conf file http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Acer_Aspire_5024/kernel_configuration.

My system is gentoo 2006.1 AMD 64 (acer aspire 5024), but i was previously using ubuntu and everything was allright then.

I would recommend you use the latest ntfs-3g driver. You won't find it in the kernel because it's a userspace driver ( with full read/write access ). It's been working flawlessly for months on my PC's.

If you wanna try it out, add these lines to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file:

sys-fs/ntfs3g
sys-fs/fuse

and then emerge ntfs-3g.

you can mount your drives with

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/my_partition /mnt/my_folder

Just as a warning, make sure all your data is backed up, because any Cross-OS filesystem access is risky. :wink:
