NTFS support is not enabled by default in the kernel as NTFS support is deemed experimental. Reading from NTFS partitions should be fine; writing is for the adventurous.
In order to enable NTFS support, yo will need to uncomment
"NTFS" in the
GENERIC kernel configuration file, & recompile the kernel according to the informationg found in
Section 5.3 of the FAQ.
You should also read the
mount_ntfs(8) manpage. There, it states that the kernel supports only NTFS4 & NTFS5.
