. How should I fix this problem?

Thank you.

Hi Naz,

This has nothing to do with IRAF.

However, my suggestion is to reconfigure and build your kernel with ntfs support.

FYI, the kernel config option is "CONFIG_NTFS_FS".

You should probably NOT set CONFIG_NTFS_RW, as writing to an NTFS drive with linux is still experimental.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Phil
