NTFS RPM Release Notes for Linux 2.4

The driver in these modules is read-only.

While I have taken care compiling these modules, I cannot guarantee that they will work for you. If they do, great. If not, then sorry, you will either have to compile the kernel yourself or consider a different Linux Distribution.

If you upgrade your kernel, you will have to download and install an new RPM to match. Each time RedHat release a new kernel there will be a slight delay before the new RPM will be ready for release.

All of these downloads are for the old driver. For the latest and best driver you need to compile your own kernel with our changes instead, as described here.

SMP Users: Please read this.
(If your computer only has one CPU, then you can ignore the rest of this section).

The original NTFS driver (the one in these modules) was written long before SMP processors and pre-emptive kernels became popular. The driver is not SMP safe. That said, it won't crash the minute you use it and even if it did crash, or hang, it will not damage your partition. The only reported problems where when the driver was under a heavy load.
