Mount and read from NTFS partitions on Linux -- Fedora Core 5

  1. Download the specific kernel module rpm from linux-ntfs.org .
  2. You can check the currently installed kernel version using `uname -rm` .
  3. Install via:
    # rpm -ivh kernel-module-ntfs-*.rpm
  4. Check the partitions to be mounted: 
    # fdisk -l | grep NTFS

    Note: If using a dual boot, then windows is normally installed in the first partition, "/dev/hda1".

  5. The listed NTFS partition can be mountable after a restart via:
    # mount -r -o umask=0222 -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs
  6. For automated mounts during startup, add the below line in "/etc/fstab" . 
    /dev/hda1   /mnt/ntfs     ntfs    ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0

gpgcheck=1
  2. Import the GPG key. 
    # rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY
  3. Install the ntfs kernel module. 
    # yum --enaberepo=livna -y install kmod-ntfs
  4. Mount normally via: 
    # mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs

What does `fdisk -l` reveal?

Did you reboot after installing the kernel support for ntfs?
