Unable to mount NTFS drive with RHEL 6

Question

I installed RHEL 6 on my computer on the last drive with Windows XP. In RHEL 6 my drive has not been opened, it shows unable to mount NTFS file. So what can I do to resolve that?

Answer 1

Install dkms and ntfs-3g from EPEL:

# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
# yum install dkms ntfs-3g

Answer 2

I just wanted to say that under Red Hat Enterprise Workstation 6.1 (system patched on 2011-12-05) a combination of the above mentioned commands worked:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
yum install ntfs-3g

Of course, you need to su first, but this did the trick for me for accessing an NTFS formatted USB disk.

Answer 3

The provided link doesn't work in RH6.0 (beta), but after testing I found that this works:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

yum install ntfs-3g
