Does RHEL 5 support NTFS ??
 
HI Guys,

any idea, does RHEL5 support NTFS system.??

From the man page for mount:-
Code:
      -t vfstype
              The argument following the -t is used to indicate the file system type.  The file system types
              which are currently supported include: adfs,  affs,  autofs,  cifs,  coda,  coherent,  cramfs,
              debugfs,  devpts,  efs,  ext,  ext2,  ext3, hfs, hpfs, iso9660, jfs, minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs,
              nfs4, ntfs, proc, qnx4, ramfs, reiserfs, romfs, smbfs, sysv, tmpfs, udf, ufs,  umsdos,  usbfs,
              vfat, xenix, xfs, xiafs.  Note that coherent, sysv and xenix are equivalent and that xenix and
              coherent will be removed at some point in the future â use sysv instead. Since kernel  version
              2.1.21 the types ext and xiafs do not exist anymore. Earlier, usbfs was known as usbdevfs.
So yes - NTFS is supported.

Not out of the box but you can get fuse-3g from dag.wieers.com (3rd party repo)

Furthermore, with ntfs-3g you do much more than read.

Code:
ntfs-3g
Linux NTFS userspace driver
NTFS-3G is a stable, open source, GPL licensed, POSIX, read/write NTFS
driver for Linux and many other operating systems. It provides safe
handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows
Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 NTFS file systems. NTFS-3G can
create, remove, rename, move files, directories, hard links, and streams;
it can read and write normal and transparently compressed files, including
streams and sparse files; it can handle special files like symbolic links,
devices, and FIFOs, ACL, extended attributes; moreover it provides full
file access right and ownership support.

There is native read support in tne kernel I believe.

You'd have to add in write support.

Exactly. By default, you can mount an NTFS file system, but you can't write to it, unless you load the ntfs-3g package. Remember being quite puzzled by that a few years ago. :)

And atulsaini_22, did you contact RedHat support?? Since you're paying for RHEL, you can call them with such questions.
