The only possible issue I saw was that after the upgrade to 5.3, it didn't work. Possibly I needed to wait longer for it to kick in, or reboot again. Akemi I think commented on that thread.
The issue about NTFS and CentOS 5.3 is that the NTFS code is now broken upstream, which means centosplus kernels do not have ntfs enabled as of 5.3. The details can be found here:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3363
Those who were using the centosplus kernel to get ntfs working now need to use either (1) ntfs-3g by following http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/NTFS or (2) the kmod-ntfs package from ElRepo ( http://elrepo.org ) as detailed in the above bug tracker.
Akemi: I'm using the stock (32 bit) kernel. As I recall, after I upgraded from CentOS 5.2 to 5.3 and I couldn't see the NTFS partition, you wrote something about maybe I needed to wait longer for it to kick in or reboot. I don't recall exactly what you wrote. I reinstalled it and it has been working perfectly for me since then. Probably I followed the CenOS Wiki, to get it working again. Lanny
