Hi Folks! I believe I found a contradiction in you online docs, discovered while trying to figure out problems I'm having mounting an NTFS partition on a secondary hard drive. Specifically in FAQ 14.16, "Can I access data on filesystems other than FFS?", it states right away: "Yes. Other supported filesystems include: ext2 (Linux), ISO9660 and UDF (CD-ROM, DVD media), FAT (MS-DOS and Windows), NFS, NTFS (Windows), AmigaDOS." However, later in the same section there is this statement: "However, some are not, e.g. the NTFS support is experimental and therefore not included in GENERIC." This is a bit confusing. The man page for 'mount_ntfs' states is "experimental" and "limited", but does say anything indicating it cannot be used. I keep getting 'Operation not supported' whenever I try to mount the drive/partition. My question is, is NTFS supported, even in a limited sense, or not? (BTW: using version OBSD4.0) Thanks and keep up the great work! cheers, - r
