Hi, I had earlier compiled all the windows file system support as modules.. did a make modules and make modules_install twice but the problem persisted... Thus a few min back I recompiled the kernel with the support withing the kernel and well now the partition has been mounted cleanly..I wonder!! I guess the only thing remaining is to edit the startup scripts.. to remove the -e option from swapon... Well has anybody else faced this problem with my combination of ext3 and 2.4.13 pcq 7.1 ( with util linux updated ) during hdparm -Tt /dev/hda the timing buffer cache read is pretty normal as it was previously on my system but the timing buffered disk read takes a lot of time... A modified ver ie partition specific.. hdparm -tT /dev/hda6 ( my "/" partit ) behave the way it normally does... Please forgive my ignorance if applicable ... and enlighten me...
Also i asked if you were using ext3 cause in your first reply you asked me Questions which made me doubt the same.. ie you havent... i do not ask you to shift.. thats ur choice... :-) Keep up the good work,,, -Ritesh

Yes I did compile them as modules and did a make

Ok. What do you get when you type mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows
(assuming that you have /mnt/windows as a directory)
report error messages, and the return value (echo $?)

PS: No, I haven't tried ext3, so... tell me why I should.
