NTFS read/write in Linux

26th January 2009, 03:25 am

Accessing NTFS parition via Linux is pretty simple. Here is the steps to get it running in less than 10 mins

Let’s install some basic stuff.

1	yum install gcc gcc-c++ make kernel-devel

Setup Fuse

wget http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/fuse/fuse-2.7.4.tar.gz
tar zxvf fuse-2.7.4.tar.gz
cd fuse-*
./configure
make
make install

Next, download NTFS-3G from here

wget http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ntfs-3g-2009.1.1.tgz
tar zxvf ntfs-3g-2009.1.1.tgz
cd ntfs-3g-*
./configure
make
make install

Last but not least

1
2
3

modprobe fuse
mkdir /windows
 mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /windows

You can then read/write your windows partition from /windows

Hope this helps …
