Hi,

I recently installed Gentoo and can't get NTFS-3G to work.

When I try to mount I get:
Code:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'


I can't figure out whats wrong.

Thanks in advance for your help

hello saz.

what did you type for mounting an ntfs partition? as i assume it was ntfs-3g as type and the 3g is an acronym for third generation.

I recompiled the kernel with the FUSE modules before I emerged ntfs3g, but then I rebooted and forgot to emerge it... (-.-')

sorry for making you guys waste your time...
