![]() ![]() The New Technology File System (NTFS) is a proprietary file system created by Microsoft and is used extensively in Microsoft’s Windows operating systems.īy default most Linux distributions are not able to mount NTFS, however it is possible to install a driver that allows us to do this so that we can read and write data to an NTFS disk. In this example I have attached the VMDK file from a Windows based virtual machine to a CentOS 7 Linux virtual machine. try 'apt-get update & apt-get install ntfs-3g' I just solved this just before you replied by doing an apt-get update, got it working now. Which is nowadays preinstalled on almost all Linux distributions. Make sure it will not overlap with another existing partition. Find the disk: fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 232. This can be done using fdisk (8) by deleting the partition and recreating it with a larger size. When we run ‘fdisk -l’ we can see that the disk is recognized (after a system reboot), however it is not yet mounted for us to access the data. Firstly to mount NTFS partition you need to install NTFS-3G in Linux distribution. To enlarge an NTFS filesystem, first you must enlarge the size of the underlying partition. I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes We can see the primary disk for the Linux system /dev/sda, while /dev/sdb is our 1GB NTFS disk which has the /dev/sdb1 NTFS partition. In order to perform the mount, we need to install the ntfs-3g package, which is a Linux NTFS userspace driver. This package comes from EPEL if you’re using CentOS/RHEL, so if you have not yet configured your system to use the EPEL repository, run the following command. Now we should be able to install the ntfs-3g package from the EPEL repository. Package ntfs-3g-dev bionic (18.04LTS) (libdevel): read/write NTFS driver for FUSE (development) 1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.04.4 security : amd64 i386 1:2017.3.23-2 ports : arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x bionic-updates (libdevel): read/write NTFS driver for FUSE (development) 1:2017.3.23-2ubuntu0.18.04. Otherwise if you’re using Ubuntu/Debian, you should just be able to run ‘apt-get install ntfs-3g’ straight away. Make sure ntfs-3g package is installed sudo apt-get install -y ntfs-3g Open /etc/fstab as root Add the following line, Assuming your partition is sda3. ![]() In my Debian 8 installation it was already available so I was able to mount NTFS without any problems. We can now successfully perform the mount without any errors. ![]()
