Re: USB external disk drive compatibility

I have RHEL5 running on my home laptop, using a couple of external USB
drives previously used with a Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 dual-boot
desktop for storage (i.e. formatted with NTFS).

Installing kernel-module-ntfs RPM packages enabled me to mount and read,
but not write to, those drives. You could also try the NTFS-3G driver
(which apparently should allow you to write to NTFS drives), but that
one didn't work for me, for some reason (haven't investigated it in any
detail yet).

Johan

In that case, I'll just leave it as is. The original poster might want
to try this though.
