[Linux4christians] Re: fstab & further query Re: mounting NTFS

[Tony Gulyas]

Can you elaborate on that a bit more, use device identifier? and tweak fstab?
I am all ears.

I am still having problems mounting an NTFS drive through usb, even though
my usb flash drive works fine in fedora core. I tried a few solutions thus far
to get NTFS to get read in fedora core, but no success yet. I tried installing
all the NTFS packages I could find in YUM, but it didn't seem to help.
Any suggestions on mounting NTFS drive through USB enclosure drive
would be appreciated. Would love to figure this out.

  I'm wondering if you may not want to tweak your fstab to mount your
drives (I read this as there being two of them) by device identifyier.
