  • Problem mounting NTFS External HDD

    Posted on

    I am facing this issue of not able to mount my NTFS external hdd.

    I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga)
    Kernel version: 2.6.18-92.el5
    Fuse RPM: fuse-2.7.4-8_12.el5
    NTFS-3G RPM: ntfs-3g-2014.2.15-1.el5.pp

    I am not able to perform yum due to network firewall restriction and also some time differences issue.
    So using yum is not a solution.

    I have already install FUSE & NTFS-3G RPM packages, create a mount-point and face the following error.

    mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/backup
    FATAL: Module fuse not found.
    ntfs-3g-mount: fuse device is missing, try 'modprobe fuse' as root

    I ran the command "modprobe fuse" and got the following error:
    FATAL: Module fuse not found.

    Need this urgent to perform my backup using 'dump' command.
    I'm fresh to RHEL, any help is appreciated!
