add NTFS partitons to your Centos or RHEL

In this tutorial we will show you how to add NTFS partitions to your centos or RHEL

Install the rpmforge-release package as directed here and try the yum command again

The commands to type in order:

rpm -Uvh  http://apt.sw.be/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse

Here is am example /etc/fstab entry for both you and madi_beni that should work at boot time;

 [root@localhost pirat9]# /sbin/fdisk  -l

Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 6375 51207156 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 6376 19124 102406342+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 * 19125 19137 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 19138 24321 41640480 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 19138 24321 41640448+ 8e Linux LVM
[root@localhost pirat9]# mkdir -p /mnt/windows_c

[root@localhost pirat9]# mkdir -p /mnt/windows_D

[root@localhost pirat9]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows_c

[root@localhost pirat9]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows_D

[root@localhost pirat9]# ls /mnt/windows_D
Acer-D Drivers Music RECYCLER Solaris System Volume Information
cod4- Maroua omnibot Softwars SOL-pack torrent

its working .

now you have to add these lines to /etc/fstab to make this mount permanently

/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows_c ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=0,gid=500,umask=000,rw 0 0

/dev/sda2 /mnt/windows_D ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=0,gid=500,umask=000,rw 0 0
