this is OT, but do you know you can get NTFS RW support by simply installing fuse-ntfs-3g from rpmforge? Fuse (from rf) gets rebuilt for new kernels by dkms, so it's painless on kernel updates.
Yes, but the point isn't to make it painless, it's to make sure I can keep in practice. I've had jobs over the last 9 years doing Linux kernel development/analysis, and at one point I was so out of practice I had to relearn how to build the kernel all over again. /That/ was painful.
BTW, since you mentioned it, which is better - the RH NTFS module(s) or the fuse implementation? Maybe I'll look for another excuse to build a modified kernel if the latter....
Thanks.
