Just for the record. The centosplus kernel does not have NTFS turned
on. There is a bug in the NTFS code but the upstream vendor would not
fix it because it is not enabled in their kernel:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481495
Therefore it was decided not to enable it in the cplus kernel.
Besides, as already pointed out in this thread, ntfs-3g is better than
the kernel ntfs module functionally and it is actively maintained.
