unknown filesystem type ntfs

pranshu24
Hello friends,
I am working on Beagleboard.But I can access the files from a FAT32 file system pendrive but I am unable to play a pendrive with NTFS filesystem.

I get the following error:"unknown filesystem type ntfs "

Do I need to upgrade the kernel with ntfs support??
If yes,please tell me how ?I am completely new to this kernel development part ..

FYI, this question is completely unrelated to gstreamer.

There are two ways to access NTFS filesystems on Linux (that I know of):

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS-3G

2. There's an in-kernel read-only `ntfs' driver. It's in the mainline
Linux kernel so all you have to do is flip on the config option and
recompile. Or maybe you already have the driver but you haven't loaded
it; try

# modprobe ntfs

But keep in mind that the in-kernel driver is READ ONLY, so if you
want read/write, you MUST use ntfs-3g.

Please try to diagnose your problems first and post them to a relevant
list, as filesystem drivers on embedded systems is a pretty far
stretch away from a media framework...

Re: unknown filesystem type ntfs

Hey Sean,
I installed that ntfs-3g driver but the problem continued !

Could please elaborate on the following when u say:
"It's in the mainline Linux kernel so all you have to do is flip on the config option and recompile."
I am really not getting this.Could please guide me in a bit more detail.
