How To Mount NTFS disks on CentOS

Type this command to determine your kernel version:

[root@lnx ~]# uname -r
2.6.18-128.el5

Download the NTFS kernel modules from:
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=redhat:rhel5

The current kernel module version of my system at the time of this writing was:
kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.18-128.el5-2.1.27-0.rr.10.11.i686.rpm

Install the RPM :

rpm -ihv kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.18-128.el5-2.1.27-0.rr.10.11.i686.rpm

 

Load the kernel module :

modprobe ntfs

 

Find the disk info : fdisk -l

One partition should be mentionned as HPFS/NTFS

 

Mount the partition :

mkdir /g_drive

mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb2 /g_drive

That’s it!
