The kernel supports it but Redhat disables it. It is easy to put it back
in by rebuilding the kernel. Install the kernel-source and follow the
instructions in the README

specifically these lines   To configure and build the kernel use:
   cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.N
   make O=/home/name/build/kernel menuconfig
   make O=/home/name/build/kernel
   sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel modules_install install
                                                                                
   Please note: If the 'O=output/dir' option is used then it must be
   used for all invocations of make.

when you run the make menuconfig you will get an option to include ntfs
support. If you are using grub it will install the custom kernel. Just
reboot and you have ntfs support.
