Re: Long file names from msdos file system AND NEW Question: ntfs file system

["Muhammad Kamran Shakil" <mksh68 yahoo com>]

Thanks very much. BTW I had figured it out, so sorry to disturb the list
before getting into deep thought first.

But I can't figured out how to access my NTFS partition. man page for mount
said that I can use 'ntfs' filesystem type to use it. But first when I tried
to use this, mount complained that filesystem not supported, but now it says
wrong major/minor device number (I checked all, these are okay). I am using
RH6.2

Thanks in advance.
