You need to add the NTFS support to the kernel. Two options available:

- Install the kernel sources, recompile the kernel and add NTFS support.

- Download kernel-ntfs rpm package for your kernel and install it.

The partition is in your hard-drive?
Or in a remote machine?

On first case, you can use rpm or recompile the kernel, on the second, you must use Samba.

Hi Fayez

is it an ntfs partition on the same disk in the same system or do you want to mount a ntfs partition form another system along the network to your redhat system. Or are you just searching for the command
# mount -t ntfs /dev/hdaN /mnt
as far as i know the ntfs option is normally enabled in the kernels provided with the distribution

Hi Fayez,

If you are trying to mount a windows networkshare maybe this example is to your help:

# mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/temp /mnt/temp/ -o user=your_username,pass=your_password
