How to mount ntfs partitions into red hat linux. I'm trying to mount but not mounted that

Please mention the RHEL version that you are using.
For RHEL 5.x command will be
mount -t ntfs-3g <drive to mount> <where to mount>
Example
root# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /mnt

1. Download fuse & ntfs-3g

fuse: Get it from http://www.atrpms.net/dist/el5/fuse/
ntfs-3g: Get it from http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/fuse-ntfs-3g/

2. Install fuse components

rpm -ivh fuse-2.6.5-2_7.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh fuse-kmdl-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5xen-2.6.5-2_7.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh fuse-libs-2.6.5-2_7.el5.x86_64.rpm

Hi,

We dont know what error you got and you never mentioned the errors....

So what's the reply you are expecting?

Then first update kernel.

Code:

yum update kernel

in 5.4 there is a very bad bug - this is well documented
and the "dkms-fuse" must be used for the kernel LESS that 2.6.18-164
seeing as you are paying for rhel support ?? - you are RIGHT
upgrade to 5.5
but your kernel is "new enough " so
search the red hat support portal
-- for ntfs--
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/...hButton=Search
or install the "free" community supported version
CentOS5.5
for CentOS - ntfs support
