Mount NTFS on RHEL

Bydonfrank

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.
