  5. I will try to solve it out.

    First of all tell me did you execute mount -a exact after executing umount -a if not then try to execute this both commands in sequence
    umount -a
    mount -a
    and then go to your cd /mnt and execute your ls command is there files or folders of your NTFS drive?

  6. gr8 man. 1TB hdd with NTFS file system were ordered, i was juggling to mount and steps documented were pretty straight forward and it kept me going with some issues, though these issues were becoz of my system.

    10 on 10 for this solution

  9. Hello,

    I tried your instructions above. It installs all fine, but when mounting, I get

    FATAL: Module fuse not found.

    When I try installing Fuse, it says:

    package fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.rf is already installed

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks

  12. To add:

    [root@....]# /bin/rpm -qa ‘fuse*’
    fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.rf
    fuse-ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-1.el5.rf

  13. Hi Did you execute this command yum -y install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse ? Still if it not works for you than try to install kernel-PAE and follow whole HOWTO may be it works for you .May be it or else i think this problem you are getting because you are running with x64 bit board and my this Howto is for i386 so may be because of this.

  14. Hi, I was able to get it to work, and here’s how…

    Removed both fuse-2.7.4-1.el5.rf and
    fuse-ntfs-3g-2009.4.4-1.el5.rf.

    I then ran yum –enablerepo=rpmforge install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse

    I appreciate all of your help.

  19. Dear sir,

    Thank you profusely for the post, because it did help me. I would advise anyone to make sure a command works before they put the command in the /etc/fstab file. Just my two cents on the question.
    What I mean is, because editing the /etc/fstab, one should actually run the
    mount -t ntfs /dev/sdax /mnt
    and make sure that this works before one umounts and re-mounts everything.
