piyusharora420 · 12-29-2010, 12:21 AM

hi everybody,
i have installed three flavours of linux on vmware
1.rhel5
2.centos 5.5
3.fedora 14

and also install centos 5.5 on a seprate hard disk(not on vwware)

i want to mount my pen drive on linux which is ntfs.i have tried a lot on rhel5 only.please tell whether it is possible mount ntfs on any distributions i have mentioned above?

i have already installed fuse,fuse-devel,fuse libs,ntfs-3g,ntfs-3g libs on rhel5.but i still got error
"fatal : module fuse not found"
"ntfs unknow file system"

please tell me what things are left?

1. Confirm the ntfs module on this path itself(the directory should be the kernel version)

Quote:

cd /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/kernel/fs/

2. Confirm any device detect with NTFS

Quote:

fdisk -l | grep NTFS

cd /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/kernel/fs/
is giving the following error

Quote:

bash: cd: /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/kernel/fs/: No such file or directory

so it means modules are not installed but i have done it.what is the root cause of this error?

Please find right path as i mentioned

Quote:

[root@Est ~]# uname -r
2.6.18-164.el5
[root@Est ~]#
[root@Est ~]#
[root@Est ~]# cd /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.el5/kernel/fs/

for a ro:

Code:

mkdir /mnt/ntfs
mount /dev/XXX /mnt/ntfs

or
for a rw:

Code:

apt-get install ntfs-3g

then config the /etc/fstab

Code:

/dev/XXX /mnt/XXX ntfs-3g auto,user,defaults,force 0 0
##echo "/dev/hda1       /mnt/hda1       vfat    user,rw,auto,umask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000  0    2" >> /etc/fstab

Requesting you to check steps carefully and the try to follow it, It should work. If not then tell me where exact you are facing difficulties.

To knowing what kernel you are usign Please Execute Following Command :-

in centos it is working.the problem is in rhel5.its not working at all.uname -r only tell about version nothing else.

jschiwal · 01-10-2011, 01:27 AM

"uname -r" should indicate which kernel version you are using. If it is a xen or pae kernel, you will see xen or pae in the name.

Check with "lsmod" if the "fuse" module is loaded. If not, modprobe it. Make sure you use "ntfs-3g" in your mount command or fstab file for the filetype.

You don't need CONFIG_NTFS_FS enabled in your kernel if you use ntfs-3g.

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i ntfs
# CONFIG_NTFS_FS is not set

You can check a filesystem with:
sudo file -s /dev/<device_node>
