From Mandriva Community Wiki

Mandriva Linux supports a number of different file systems "out of the box", including:

• ext2
• ext3
• reiserfs
• XFS
• JFS

It also has support for file systems from other operating systems, although these are largely read-only.

[edit] Writing to a Windows® NT/2000/XP NTFS hard drive partition

Altering NTFS partitions is supported in a limited way by the kernel shipped with Mandriva Linux, currently only the following are supported:

• Read un/compressed files
• Organise directories
• Loopack reading for mounted files
• Remove files
• Trunc file and expend files.

It is not currently capable of the following:

• Create new files
• Create new directories
• Generate physical links
• Access rights lists
• Access encrypted files

This is accomplished with the help of the Linux-NTFS project

[edit] Mounting ISO images without burning to a CD/DVD

Open up a console program (e.g. konsole ) and type:

mount -o loop -t iso9660 <isofilename> <mountpoint>
