Mount a Windows partition on a Linux

[Vinil]

We can mount a Windows NTFS partition on a Linux machine. For this we need to install 'ntfs3g' package.

To install NTFS-3G:

Code: [Select]

# wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ivh epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
# yum install ntfs-3g


Now find Out NTFS Partition Name

Code: [Select]

# fdisk -l

Sample output

 Device   Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      102400    7  HPFS/NTFS

Create a mount point:

# mkdir /mnt/ntfs

To mount the ntfs partition, enter:

# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs

To unmount, enter:

# umount /mnt/ntfs

That's it..
