I have installed the following 2 packages on Centos 5.6, and used GParted to successfully create an 8GB NTFS partition, on some unused HDD space.
Installed Packages Name : ntfsprogs Arch : i386 Version : 1.13.1 Release : 6.el5 Size : 1.1 M Repo : installed Summary : NTFS filesystem libraries and utilities URL : http://www.linux-ntfs.org/
Name : ntfsprogs-gnomevfs Arch : i386 Version : 1.13.1 Release : 6.el5 Size : 20 k Repo : installed Summary : NTFS GNOME virtual filesystem module URL : http://www.linux-ntfs.org/
I'm running Xfce 4, and when I try to mount the NTFS file system, I get an error box with 'ntfs - unknown filetype'
I've done a complete reboot of this box.
Are there some packages I have missing?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts

you need fuse-ntfs-3g , get it from repoforge.

Thanks Nicolas. Is that as well as what I already have installed, or instead of?

fuse-ntfs-3g is sufficient for rw access to files on ntfs partitions, but keeping what you have shouldn't harm.
also, read this: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/NTFS

Thanks again Nicolas.
Somehow I managed to install ntfs-3g, instead of fuse-ntfs-3g:
Installed Packages Name : ntfs-3g Arch : i386 Epoch : 2 Version : 2011.4.12 Release : 3.el5 Size : 623 k Repo : installed Summary : Linux NTFS userspace driver URL : http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
And it works OK now thanks! I have managed to mount the NTFS HDD partition, and also copied some large files to it OK.
So that's really handy thing to be able to do.
Kind Regards,
Keith
