Mount NTFS on RHEL
ElRepo repository has kmod-fuse package that does not need dkms system. Since kmod installation uses module aliases (something like symlinks on filesystems), it works on all installed and future kernels without the need to recompile/install even automatic one with dkms.
Get started
Import the public key:rpm –import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
Detailed info on the GPG key used by the ELRepo Project can be found on https://www.elrepo.org/tiki/key
To install ELRepo for RHEL-5, SL-5 or CentOS-5:rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-5-4.el5.elrepo.noarch.rpm
To make use of our mirror system, please also install yum-fastestmirror.
To install ELRepo for RHEL-6, SL-6 or CentOS-6:rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-5.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
To make use of our mirror system, please also install yum-plugin-fastestmirror.
Then Install the fuse package:
yum install fuse-ntfs-3g kmod-fuse
Identify NTFS Partition
Once fuse module is loaded, type below command to find out NTFS Partitions in Linux.
# fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 21270 7816688 b W95 FAT32
Mount NTFS partition
First create a mount point to mount the NTFS partition.
# mkdir /mnt/nts
Simply run the following command to mount the partition. Replace sda1 with your actual partition found.
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/nts
Once it’s mounted on /mnt/ntfs, you may use regular Linux ls -l command to list the content of mounted filesystem.
