Problem mounting NTFS External HDD
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!

Because your system is older than RHEL 5.3, you may need to install the kmod-fuse package from ELRepo.
elrepo-release-5-6.el5.elrepo.noarch... Does this one contain kmod-fuse ? Installing epel-release-5-4.noarch could not resolve fuse .
My kernel is 2.6.18-92.el5
yum install fuse modprobe fuseyields : "Module fuse not found"
Hi Akemi, Also I read on a forum that NTFS file sys is more reliable than ExFS. Which one is better according to you. I have heard that chances of xfs getting corrupt are higher (than NTFS). Is that statement true in any way?
Hi. I'm having same problem with RHEL workstation 7.5, kernel 3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64.
I did installed latest ntfs-3g package, fuse is installed. I can format an external disk/usb stick in NTFS format but still cannot mount NTFS partitions. modprobe still report module ntfs-3g not found.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance. Pietro
OK, I solved it myself. I found a similar problem on Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1401158 where they were mentioning libntfs-3g.so.87 installed under lib and lib64 (two conflicting version: one 64 the other 32 bit). I removed the one under /lib and now it is working.
