Mounting NTFS (Fedora)

Get the module rpm from here (see step 2 first)
  1. Become a root
    • su
  2. Check your kernel version (do this before you download the rpm)
    • uname -r
  3. Go to where you saved the rpm and install it
    • rpm -ivh ntfs-blah-blah-blach.rpm
  4. Create a mountpoint for your windows partition
    • mkdir /mnt/win
  5. Check the device identifier (look for ntfs in the output)
    • /sbin/fdisk -l
  6. Add following to your /etc/fstab
    • /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0
  7. Enjoy
