I've installed

ntfs-3g-libs-2011.4.12
ntfsprogs-2011.4.12

for RHEL5 64-bit. No issues.

I can use some ntfsprogs, e.g. ntfsls, etc. No problem.

However, cannot

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows

Message is "filesystem not supported".

I must be missing something.

Hi,


This is, most likely, because you did not install the driver (you only installed the utilities and the library). The driver package should be named something like ntfs-3g-2011.4.12-3.el5.x86_64.rpm

Thank you kindly. That did the trick.
