Oracle Enterprise Linux NTFS how-to

1. Determine Kernel Architecture and Distribution


uname -m
cat /etc/redhat-release

2. Setup Software Repositories/Download packages


Option 1
You will need to setup access to two software repositories.
Oracle ULN or public yum:
The installation of RPM software packages can be complex due to software conflicts or package
dependencies. It is easier to use a software manager like "yum", which will automatically resolve
package dependencies and prompt you to download required software if necessary.
For those who do not have a support subscription and access to Oracle ULN, Oracle provides a
public YUM software repository to give you free online access to the standard software
distributions. Simply follow the instructions outlined at http://public-yum.oracle.com. You only
need to enable the software repository that matches your version according to the previous step.
Reproforge:
The NTFS driver is provided by the Repoforge alias RPMforge software repository. For more
information about Repoforge, please see http://repoforge.org/faq. NTFS-3G is a stable,
full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for Linux and other operating systems. For more information
check http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download, where you can also download the
source code should you prefer to compile your own NTFS driver.
Depending on your current distribution and kernel architecture, you need to install the following:
Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x x86:
wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.i386.rpm_x000D_
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.i386.rpm

Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x x86_64:


wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm_x000D_
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm

Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.x x86:


wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm_x000D_
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm

Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.x x86_64:


wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm_x000D_
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

Oracle Linux 6.x x86:


wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm_x000D_
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm

Oracle Linux 6.x x86_64:


wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm_x000D_
rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

Option 2
Download the fuse and fuse-ntfs-3g from
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/source/
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/

3. Install the NTFS Kernel Driver and Related Software


For Option 1 in 2
Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x:
yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g

Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.0 - 5.2:


yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g

Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.3:


NTFS support under Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 is broken and you should consider to upgrade to the 5.4 or later.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481495)

Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.4 - 5.x:


As of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 the the kernel fuse module (dkms, dkms-fuse) is included in the
kernel and should not be installed.
yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g

Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 6.x:


yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g

For Option 2 in 2
rpm -Uvh fuse-2.7.4-1.rf.src.rpm fuse-ntfs-3g-2013.1.13-2.rf.src.rpm

4. Find and Mount a NTFS Device


Identify the attached device
sudo blkid

Mount the ntfs device


sudo mount.ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt
