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

[Tony Gulyas]

Yes I have, but no success as of yet. It is a usb enclosure with NTFS 
drive inside. Not sure what is going on, as I just got my USB flash drive
working fine, so I have no idea why I cannot get this other USB NTFS
drive working. I think it something to do with linux not liking the NTFS
partition, as far as I can make out.
