Mount USB Drive
Hello,
I have connected a USB drive to my Redhat linux server and I am unable to mount. Because it is an NTFS partition I am not able to mount. The version I am using is 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux. Can someone help me to install fuse and lib packages? I have no idea which version I should download? Thanks KJ |
You need to install ntfs-3g in order to mount NTFS partitions.
Cheers, Josh |

Yes, I know I have to install Ntfs-3g, but now sure which version I should install. Thanks KJ |
what error do you get when you try to mount this drive - could you possibly post a screenshot.
also if you could please run following command (as recommended by corp769] Code:
rpm -qa | grep -i ntfs-3g |
How are you trying to install it? By using either your package manager or rpm's off of the internet, you will want the latest version..................

I used the below commands mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt/USB mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/USB/ I get this error message : mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' Thanks KJ |
I think you should have checked for package before installing it.
If it is already installed - you just might want to update it - But even before updating it you should be able to mount if its already installed. Sorry for hassle |
How do I check whether I have already installed or no?
Thanks KJ |
Code:
rpm -qa | grep -i ntfs |
I used the same command and there is no output

:) Indeed you dont have required package.
Do you have Red Hat Subscription ? Are you paying Redhat for Support ? If yes - you might want to check redhat support - if installing software from sources other then redhat is going to impact support in anyway http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...submit=Search+... http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/ |
I don't have Redhat subscription, no contract.
|
then you could always go to rpmfind.net and search for ntfs-3g and download and install it.
|
You should be able to mount it read only with stock kernel if that is all you need to do.

After installing the ntfs-3g packages I get the below error messages
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/USB/ FATAL: Module fuse not found. The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing. ntfs-3g-mount: fuse device is missing, try 'modprobe fuse' as root [root@localhost ~]# modprobe fuse FATAL: Module fuse not found. Can someone help me? |
