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. Akemi
