I'm running Fedora 14 with the 2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686 kernel and Gnome 2.32.0. I have a few NTFS drives that are mounted when I start up. However, there is no entry for them in fstab and nothing in mtab. (EDIT: The NTFS drives aren't in /proc/mounts either) Furthermore there is no mention of any NTFS filesystems in /etc/filesystems and /proc/filesystems.FYI, all of the NTFS commands on my system are as follows:# compgen -c | grep ntfsntfs-3gntfsmountntfsmftallocntfs-3g.probentfsdump_logfilentfsfixntfsdecryptntfs-3gntfs-3g.secauditntfs-3g.usermapntfslsntfscatntfstruncatentfswipentfsmountlowntfs-3gntfscmpntfsinfontfsckntfsclusterntfsmoventfslabelmount.ntfs-3gmount.ntfsmount.lowntfs-3gmkntfsntfscpmkfs.ntfsntfsundeletemount.ntfs-fusentfsclonentfsresizeQuestions:How does a Linux machine auto-mount an NTFS drive without lookingat fstab?How is an NTFS drive mounted without NTFS being listed ineither of the above to filesystem files?Why is there no mention of a mounted NTFS filesystem in mtab even though they're mounted on my system and browsable?
How are NTFS drives handled by Linux? Nothing is in fstab yet it's automounted. Nothing in mtab yet it's currently mounted

You are probably using the ntfs-3g driver, which is a user mode filesystem.  It will show up in /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab as fuse.
