You can mount a NTFS file system/partition on your RHEL4 machine.
You need to have a few utilities. The following are the important ones:
Code:
fuse
fuse-ntfs
dkms-fuse
Download the above RPMS and install it using the following command
Quote:
[root@gagan src]# rpm -ivh *
Please note that the above command considers that only the above 3 packages are present in the /usr/src folder.
You will now have to run the following command to load the fuse module:
Quote:
[root@gagan src]# modprobe fuse
Verify if the module has been loaded
Quote:
[root@gagan src]# lsmod | grep fuse
That should do it.
You can now mount a NTFS partition on your machine.
The following command can be used for the same:
Quote:
[root@gagan ~]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdax /mnt/ntfs-filesystem
Or
Quote:
[root@gagan ~]# ntfsmount /dev/sdax /mnt/ntfs-filesystem
Where /dev/sdax is the NTFS partition which will be mounted on /mnt/ntfs-filesystem.
Note: A very important note, before you try this, you need to ensure that your OS has the DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support). If it is not there the above won't work. In such cases, first install DKMS and then follow the steps above.
