How to install ntfs on rhel

Redhat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is not automatically detect any hdd formatted with ntfs. So it can't be mounted. But now there is a way to make it detected, by using NTFS-3g.
NTFS-3G allows us to handle NTFS file systems of Windows OS. Its an open source read/write NTFS for Linux installations. It offers the capability to create, delete, rename, move files, directories, hard links, and streams. Special files such as the symbolic links, devices and FIFOs, ACL, extended attributes can be easily handled. Below are the steps to install ntfs-3g :

1. Logged in as Root

   # su -
   

2. Install ntfs-3g, we can use yum or rpm -ivh

   # yum install ntfs-3g
   # rpm -ivh ntfs-3g fuse-ntfs-3g-1.1004-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
   

3. Determine the name of an NTFS partition :

   # fdisk -l /dev/sdb  ;replace /dev/sdb with your own
   

4. Load the fuse driver :

   # modprobe fuse

5. Create a mount point

   # mkdir /mnt/ntfs

6. Mount the ntfs partition

   # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs

To unmount partition, simply using below command :

# umount /mnt/ntfs
