Mounting NTFS file system in RHEL

Hi All so many people doesn't know that Linux do not support windows partitions. So Today I'm going to explain how to use NTFS file format in RHEL.

All you need is just install one package that support that NTFS partition . We can use it as temporary and permanent mount on linux. So here goes.

1. Install & Configure

  Use the following command to install fuse-ntfs-3g. It will make mountable NTFS file system in linux. You can download the RPM package in online

yum install ntfs-3g -y




after that just check the partition list with following command




fdisk -l

this command will show you the NTFS partitions and take a note that partition name and path.




after that you have to load the fuse driver.




modprobe fuse




Next




create a directory in /mnt so you can mount the partition there.




mkdir /mnt/NTFS




now mount the partition with following command




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




Finished now you can check the mounted partition with following command.




df -h




you can now use the files.




If you want to unmount the partition then it's easy to unmount use the following command.




umount /mnt/NTFS




Enjoy.......:-)
