CentOS 5.5 is installed in the system. I installed the package kmod-ntfs-2.1.27-3.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm I mounted Seagate external hard disk. I am able to copy contents from the hard disk to the system but not from the system to the hard disk.
I've been following this thread, and I'm wondering: why bother with NTFS in the first place? If you have a mixed environment where you need Windows to access your external hard disk, you might as well format it with a FAT filesystem. Linux supports FAT natively, without making you jump through burning loops.
If you don't know how to achieve this, here's how :
Backup all your data.
Given your external disk is /dev/sda, launch fdisk, delete the NTFS
partition and create a single FAT partition (hex code 0b).
- Install 'dosfstools' and format your disk :
# mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
- From now on, mount your disk as FAT :
# mount [-t vfat] /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk

Will FAT support the larger external disks, such as the .5TB and larger?
