Linux and NTFS

To enable NTFS file partition mounting install the ntfs-3g tools.

Prerequisite

yum update --enablerepo=centosplus
yum install fuse

ntfs-3g

wget http://tuxera.com/opensource/ntfs-3g-2010.10.2.tgz
tar xvzf ntfs-3g-2010.10.2.gz
./configure
make
make install

Once the ntfs-3g tools are installed you cna then mount a partition type of ntfs-3g

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /home/user/path

Note

I was unable to compile vmWare using the centos.plus kernel.
