Yes, I'm back :-D

Finally had a chance to try this out, and it works totally on my Fedora16
laptop. But not on the EL6.2 server....

Usage:    ntfs-3g [-o option[,...]] <device|image_file> <mount_point>

Options:  ro (read-only mount), remove_hiberfile, uid=, gid=,
          umask=, fmask=, dmask=, streams_interface=.
          Please see the details in the manual (type: man ntfs-3g).

Example: ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows

[root at gpfsnode8 ~]# ls -l /dev/sda1
ls: cannot access /dev/sda1: No such file or directory
[root at gpfsnode8 ~]#

And this I just can't get my head around, why is /dev/sda1 not created?
/dev/sda shows up as expected and the kernel even recognizes that there is
a sda1 partition but the device entry isn't created.

Anybody able to help me here?
