I asked DaveJ not to enable the ntfs kmod. 1. It doesn't work as well as ntfs-3g. 1A. It doesn't have RW support. 2. It is unmaintained upstream. 3. mount.ntfs points to ntfs-3g in Fedora. So, even if someone gets the ntfs.ko in place, they're still probably using ntfs-3g. ~spot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
