Definitely, ntfs-3g is from the EPEL repo: # yum info ntfs-3g Installed Packages Name : ntfs-3g Arch : x86_64 ....
but is it available in x86 32 bit ?
me, I've never trusted ntfs on linux, and would rather have a windows machine mount and serve it over SMB or whatever.
I did not seem to have the repo in /etc/repo.d, so I did this:
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm yum install epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm yum install --enablerepo=epel ntfs-3g
I got a rather long error message which ended with this:
Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel/i386. Please verify its path and try again
I think I should try to find the source and compile.

OK I have cheated and hacked and all sort, but got it installed from version 6 repo because it seems version 7 i686 doesn't exist.

Unfortunately I am not able to mount the partition:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'
Also I was unable to compile the source due to errors.
