NTFS Support

How can I mount an NTFS disk in CentOS 5.4? I did 'yum list | grep -i ntfs', but that doesn't show any ntfs rpms. Does CentOS support NTFS filesystems?

Yes. Furthermore CentOS 5.4 has the required fuse kernel module built into the kernel itself. This page on the CentOS wiki explains it all. If you still have an issue, feel free to ask.

Yes, I saw that page. But I don't 'yum list" doesn't mention any fuse-ntfs rpms. I tried to enable rpmforge, as suggested in the page, but yum can't find it:

To enable a repository the system must have the proper configuration file installed. Check if you have the file /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo or alternatively check if the rpmforge package is installed:

Code:

rpm -q rpmforge-release

If not, please refer to the CentOS wiki again, which provides detailed instructions, here.

Thanks! That worked.
