Mount NTFS Partition in RHEL

 

Need to mount the Windows NTFS partition in RHEL 5

 

 

1)      Download the “ntfs-3g” and “fuse” packages from the below links.

http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse/files

2)      Install the ntfs-3g package by using the below commands

# tar –zxvf ntfs-3g-xxxx.tgz

# cd ntfs-3g-xxxx

# ./configure

# make

# make install

3)      Install the fuse package by using the below commands

# tar –zxvf fuse-xxx.tar.gz

# cd fuse-xxx

# ./configure

# make

# make install

# modprobe fuse

4)      Now mount the ntfs partition using the below command

 

# mount –t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt

 

Note: Here /dev/sdb1 is a windows NTFS partition. Also here usage of fuse version is depend upon the kernel version.
