I have a problem using an NTFS volume using the Gentoo kernel. Using the vanilla 2.4.20 kernel (thus old NTFS driver), it works perfectly. With the Gentoo kernel, I run into problems. I tried it with the original 2.4.20-gentoo-r1 kernel I had (with linux-ntfs driver 2.1.0a IIRC), and also with the ntfs-2.1.0a-2.1.1a.patch applied (thus having linux-ntfs 2.1.1a). Accessing files from console works, but if I check the free space with df, the system hangs before outputting the the line for the ntfs partition and keeps hogging the HDD. The NTFS partition is a 48G Windows XP one on an extended partition (see fdisk output below). I also tried to chkdsk the NTFS volume from XP, but I don't know how to verify that it gets cleanly unmounted when I shut down Windows. Any ideas what should I try? I'm going to try the vanilla kernel with only the new linux-ntfs driver patch applied.
