Unable to mount NTFS file system in oracle enterprise linux 5

Unable to mount NTFS file system in oracle enterprise linux 5

Applies to:

Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5
Database 11gR2


Description:

I am using Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5, I am trying to mount a NTFS file system USB drive on linux but unable to succeed and got the following error:

 mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive/
 mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'


Solution:

After some research work I found that install the FUSE and NTFS-3G packages to resolve the issue.


To check the package installed or not:

rpm -qa |grep fuse

To install the packages execute the folloiwng:

rpm -ivh fuse-2.6.3-1.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh fuse-ntfs-3g-2010.5.22-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

After successfull installation of packages I can mount the NTFS USB drive successfully:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1  /media/usbdrive/


Your comments, especially which will help us improve the functionality, will be greatly appreciated :)
