I am facing the same problem in RHEL 5 in mounting ntfs file system of installed xp. I have downloaded and installed the fuse-2.6.3-1.el5.rf.i386
and fuse-ntfs-3g-1.1004-1.el5.rf.i386 rpms from dag.wieers.com but when i run the mount command which is

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs

it is showing the error message

-----------------------------------------

FATAL: module fuse not found

fusermount: fuse device not found,try 'modprobe fuse 'first

unmounting /dev/sda6 (softwares)

-----------------------------------------

Now guys suggest me what to do??????

GCC Packages is must for Mounting NTFS, you can find it from

rpmfind.net

shahz · 07-21-2009, 02:05 AM

okay finally I checked to mount an NFS partition and it works, you need to install all the following packages to get it work.

fuse-ntfs-3g.rpm
libfuse.rpm
fuse.rpm
dkms.rpm
dkms-fuse.rpm

after installing all the packages you can mount your desired NTFS partition.

#mount -t ntfs-3g /path/to/your/partition /mountpoint

Initially i searched and got that i need to install fuse and fuse-ntfs-3g i installed that but when tried to mount d drive it shows d above posted error

Now regarding gcc the site you gave there is no gcc mentioned for rhel 5 its there for rhel 4 now what to do????????? And its written there that we need gcc to compile c/c++ .

Other rpms i have installed

fuse-ntfs-3g.rpm
fuse.rpm
dkms.rpm
dkms-fuse.rpm

but didnt find libfuse.rpm anywhere now where to get it i tried in dagwieers and d link you gave me there is no rpm by the name libfuse

And tell me major sites where in can find needful rpms as well

shahz · 07-21-2009, 04:37 AM
