Topic: NTFS support for whiterussian 0.9

Hello!
Guys, is there any possibility to mount NTFS volume (external HDD, interfaced via USB) on whiterussian 0.9 (2.4 kernel)?
I can see that 3G-NTFS is supported by 2.6 only.

What about 2.4? I'm using ASUS WL-500g Premium.

Thanks in advance.
Max.

I tried that too, but couldn't get it to work.
I wanted it because i usually formated external HDDs with NTFS.
Now i chose FAT32 (vfat) and that works fine in both environments (XP & openWRT).

Cheers, Hannes

hanz,
Thanks for reply. I also thought about switching to FAT32, but it has max file size about 4G(if my memory tells me right), And this is not my case:(
Also i thought about using ext2/3 (there is a file system driver available for win32 platform), but it sounds very ugly to me.
I just wanted to know is there any chance to port it on 2.4 kernel, i don't believe that only I wanted to have NTFS support:). If yes, so i will give it a try, otherwise i will not even touch it.

I did format my 20gig USB disc with fat32. Runs well on samba/openwrt and XP.
Before that, i also did search the web/forums for ntfs support on openWRT, but that always ended in "not finding a solution".
If you have success, just leave me a note wink

Cheers

Maybe with 2.6 kernel ...

You are right, FAT32 is 4GB file size limited.
