[centos] ntfs access
Hello?
In CentOS 5, how can I access ntfs drives/partitions/volumes? Thanks. |
Code:
mkdir /mnt/windows |
didn't work for me

Your distribution might not come with the ntfs3g driver... What distribution are you using?
If you don't have it (which it's pretty obvious you don't :P), then you can get it here if your distribution doesn't provide a package for it: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ |
What distribution?

Well we never heard back from the original poster, so I don't know if it actually worked for him/her.
I've only read that CentOS comes with the ntfs3g driver, but I haven't actually used it, so I can't vouch that it does. |

http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ That solved my problem- I don't trust this USB drive anyway, I plugged it into my CentOS box because it was acting up on a Windows XP machine, so I sure don't want to start writing to it just now, even if ntfs-3g is "1.0". I hope it helps you also. |

CentOS is a clone of Enterprise Linux. See http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ "About RedHat/FC RPMs" for a quick explanaton of Red Hat and NTFS and all the RPMs and instructions required to get the kernel modules installed. |
linux-ntfs is read only access I believe... the 3g version gives write access as well.

Code:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows |
Whoops, sorry all!

well, yes

Thanks for the correction. Those people who actually install ntfs-3g on their CentOS 5 systems will need to know the right command and they might Google for it instead of reading the documentation, come upon this thread (which placed highly, for some reason, in my Google search looking for the quickest way to add NTFS to a newly installed CentOS 5 system) and get useful information, eventually. |
Hello?
I've got troubles with ntfs-3g, although it looks like the problem is more with FUSE module rather than ntfs-3g driver. It returns: Code:
FATAL: Module fuse not found. Code:
$ sudo /sbin/modprobe fuse Code:
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.14.el5/kernel/fs/ Does anyone know what could have gone wrong in my installation? Thanks.. |
whats the output of lsmod?
