How to mount NTFS partition in Linux
I'm running CentOS 6.3 on a dual-boot machine with Windows7. In the Windows side, I created an NTFS partition on an SSD and it works well from there. When I boot into Linux and try to mount that partition, it complains that I must specify the filesystem type.
If I run fdisk on it: it complains: WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on /dev/sda. The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. fdisk displays that partition as having Id=ee, and System=GPT. If I run 'blkid' on the partition, it returns nothing. In Linux, how can I mount this partition? |
use mount command like this :
Code:
mount /dev/sda5 -t ntfs -o defaults /mnt/tmpfs you can use gfdisk instead of fdisk to have GUID support as fdisk says you can also use parted which have support for both mbr and guid . did you run blkid command with root access ? because when you run it without root access it gives no output . |
If you want to write to it from CentOS you'll need the ntfs-3g package from EPEL. I'd be guessing the in-kernel support isn't enabled in RHEL/CentOS, so you'll need ntfs-3g regardless. Plenty of articles online.
