Mounting NTFS Partition on RHEL 5.x
irst Setup RPMForge Repository by running this command :- wget http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/RPMS.dag/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
Install DAG’s GPG Key by executing following command:-
rpm – -import http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
Verify the package you have downloaded:-
rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.*.rpm
Install the package :-
rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.*.rpm
or if you dont find packages here try some other repositories like rpmfusion, epel hope you will get it..
after this run yum list command if that runs completely
then Intall gcc packages from your RHEL CD/DVD or any other repository where gcc packages available.
GCC Packages is must for Mounting NTFS.
After GCC installed
run this command :-
yum -y install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse
if you are running xen kernel then only run this command
yum install kernel-xen-devel
if you are running PAE kernel then only run this command
yum install kernel-PAE-devel
Now Make Entry in your /etc/fstab file
make backup of your /etc/fstab by executing this command
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bkp
now open your /etc/fstab file in your favorite editor
vim /etc/fstab like below example
/dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
save & exit from file
Then execute this two commands in exact order
umount -a
mount -a
That’s it. Now You will able to see NTFS by executing df -kh or access your NTFS Volume from your mount point.

Thanks & Regards

I will try to solve it out.
First of all tell me did you execute mount -a exact after executing umount -a if not then try to execute this both commands in sequence
umount -a
mount -a
and then go to your cd /mnt and execute your ls command is there files or folders of your NTFS drive?
gr8 man. 1TB hdd with NTFS file system were ordered, i was juggling to mount and steps documented were pretty straight forward and it kept me going with some issues, though these issues were becoz of my system.
10 on 10 for this solution
Gggggrrrreeeeaaatttttt work Mr. Tejas.
Thank You very much.

Congrats !!!!! Keep Visiting Blog. and keep send feedback. Thanks.
Hello,
I tried your instructions above. It installs all fine, but when mounting, I get
FATAL: Module fuse not found.
When I try installing Fuse, it says:
package fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.rf is already installed
Any thoughts?
Thanks
By Following these steps you go threw, but than also you are getting error than try to execute modprobe fuse and than try it. Let me know it’s working or not.
Hi, modprobe fuse shows: FATAL: Module fuse not found.
To add:
[root@....]# /bin/rpm -qa ‘fuse*’
fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.rf
fuse-ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-1.el5.rf
[root@....]# uname -a
Linux server 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Wed Oct 10 16:34:19 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Hi Did you execute this command yum -y install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse ? Still if it not works for you than try to install kernel-PAE and follow whole HOWTO may be it works for you .May be it or else i think this problem you are getting because you are running with x64 bit board and my this Howto is for i386 so may be because of this.
Hi, I was able to get it to work, and here’s how…
Removed both fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.rf and
fuse-ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-1.el5.rf.
I then ran yum –enablerepo=rpmforge install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse
I appreciate all of your help.
Thanks for a nice info.It might be help to others also.
Thanks a lot.

2) uname -r

Dear sir,
Thank you profusely for the post, because it did help me. I would advise anyone to make sure a command works before they put the command in the /etc/fstab file. Just my two cents on the question.
What I mean is, because editing the /etc/fstab, one should actually run the
mount -t ntfs /dev/sdax /mnt
and make sure that this works before one umounts and re-mounts everything.
hello sir,
i have follow the above steps but still i am unable to mount ntfs partition on CentOS 5.3
below is the details
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa ‘fuse*’
fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.rf
fuse-ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-2.el5.rf
[root@localhost ~]# uname -r
2.6.18-128.el5xen
[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-128.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 11:55:02 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost ~]#
Look at the comments below. I hope you find your solutions.
Gr8 work….!!! I already did it successfully, but my problem is
how to make ntfs partitions auto-mount on system boot ??
I think i am facing some problem with root permission, as on starting RHEL 5.2, i get something like
“ntfs-3g-mount : fuse device is missing”
“try modprobe fuse as root”
But works fine when i manually mount the partitions……
Any help…….
Can you please tell me what is entry in your fstab file?
