USB external disk drive compatibility

[Johan Booysen]

The only thing I've noticed is that the kernel-module-ntfs RPM package
needs to be the same version as the kernel you're using, so if you
update the kernel you need to update the RPM package too.

Other than that it works quite well.

I just installed the RPM from:
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/content/view/257/

for RHEL5 and am able to mount NTFS partitions.

In that case, I'll just leave it as is.  The original poster might want
to try this though.
