Do you also need the centosplus kernel, which has the NTFS features enabled in the linux kernel ".config" file at compilation time?
Just for the record. The centosplus kernel does not have NTFS turned on. There is a bug in the NTFS code but the upstream vendor would not fix it because it is not enabled in their kernel:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481495
Therefore it was decided not to enable it in the cplus kernel. Besides, as already pointed out in this thread, ntfs-3g is better than the kernel ntfs module functionally and it is actively maintained.
