Mount NTFS filesystem by NFS ?
Is there a way to do this ? For now I can only mount linux fs by NFS but not NTFS partition...

Re: Mount NTFS filesystem by NFS ?
afaik NFS can share any files, regardless of what filesystem they occur on.

Re: Mount NTFS filesystem by NFS ?
maybe it requires some windoze software, like that unix client services thing they have. ? i wasn't aware that nfs supported native win filesystems, but maybe iphitus is right. i can't find anything on google on how to do it, at least, and the nfs howto mentions just about every other FS other than win.

Re: Mount NTFS filesystem by NFS ?
I tried sharing ntfs partition via nfs and it doesn't work. Nfs works with any linux partition but obviously not with ntfs. But i can share ntfs partition using samba..

Re: Mount NTFS filesystem by NFS ?
Maybe you should try different module. I tried with ntfs-3g only. Maybe it works with ntfs module.

Re: Mount NTFS filesystem by NFS ?
How is your NTFS partition mounted? Can normal users read it locally? Because NFS looks at the UID (NOT username) and GID (again NOT groupname) of the owner of the files. Chances are the NTFS partition is mounted with 700 root:root permissions. Mount it with 777 permissions and try again.

Re: Mount NTFS filesystem by NFS ?
Yep normal users are using NTFS partitions - partitions are automounted with fstab and I use ntfs-3g.

Re: Mount NTFS filesystem by NFS ?
I've noticed ntfs-3g doesn't work for everything, even though it has write support. I tried to use an NTFS partition with Wine and it complained about some MMAP-function not working. Have you tried the regular NTFS driver?
I don't see why NFS wouldn't work with NTFS volumes. Obviously you won't have write access with the regular NTFS driver.
