Mount NTFS Partitions

Precondition:

RPMforge has been installed.(a 3rd party repository)

Steps:

1.Install ntfs-3g

$ sudo yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g

Yum may search and install fuse automatically.

2.Create the folders for mounting, such as

$ sudo mkdir -p /mymnt/winxp /mymnt/win7 /mymnt/data1 /mymnt/data2

3.Modify /etc/fstab to implement automatic mounting when booting

$ sudo vim /etc/fstab

Attach the mounting information at the end of the file

/dev/sda1  /mymnt/winxp  ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults  0 0
/dev/sda5  /mymnt/win7  ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults  0 0
/dev/sdb1  /mymnt/data1  ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults  0 0
/dev/sdb2  /mymnt/data2  ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults  0 0 

If readonly mounting is needed, the command line should be the following:

/dev/sda1  /mymnt/winxp  ntfs-3g  ro,umask=0222,defaults 0 0

For detailed partitioning information, refer it to fdisk.(Using fdisk for Partitioning Information)

4.To mount a partition at once:

$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mymnt/winxp
