I am using Red Hat 5.5.
I am trying to mount a USB Drive that is formatted as NTFS.
Red Hat is saying it can not mount NTFS drive

You'll need to install the user space file system (fuse), and then you'll have access to the necessary drivers for r/w an NTFS partition.

Hi jmh9403,

Search for fuse-ntfs-3g here
install it
and then mount your ntfs partition as below

Code:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda /mnt

Here, I am assuming your ntfs device is /dev/sda and mount point is /mnt
