I have an Transcend HDD in NTFS file system. By mistake I unmount it from centos. After this i am not able to connect it again. Now it is not showing icon for it.

Please help me, how to again mount it so that icon could be display. I need to write important data into it.

Thanks in advance.

I think ntfs file-system will not support in CentOS. Once I faced same issue.

To mount ntfs file-system in CentOS follow below method.

Make sure you have the rpmforge or epel repo installed.

To enable epel repositary follow this method

For 32 bit
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

For 64 bit
wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

yum update
yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
yum install ntfs-3g 

Then Mount the External HDD

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/disk /mnt/disk
0

You can see attached disks by fdisk -l

you can also do df -h to show what disks are already mounted

Then, make a directory to mount to

mkdir /mnt/Diskname1

Then mount the disk as a location:

mount /dev/Diskname1 /mnt/Diskname1

If you want that to persist, edit fstab and you should be good.
