[nflug] NTFS Partitions And RHEL 5.2

[Cyber Source]

To see all the packages your repos are offering, do this "yum search > 
yumlist" then you can search through the file yumlist for the package, 
as they may have called it something else, etc.. The utility package for 
ntfs I believe should be called ntfsprogs and that's a handy one to have 
for the tools it contains. If you install, just type ntfs and hit the 
tab a few times to see all the choices of little programs at your 
disposal. Knowing how anal RH can be, I doubt it's in any of the 
standard repos and it would be much simpler to just go to the ntfs-3g 
site to install the package, then mount your ntfs partitions as "ntfs-3g 
/dev/sda1 /mnt/mountpoint", assuming of course your ntfs is on the first 
partition of a scsi or scsi translated drive. The defaults mount it rw 
for all I believe, so be careful what it's exposed to after.
