My apologies for posting an already solved problem, but dont know if its my ignorance that is not getting me to my desired results.....trying to mount an external usb hard drive(ntfs) in my system.
In my CentOS box, I tried to install dkms, dkms-fuse, fuse and fuse-ntfs-3g as follows(including what happened)
[root@Production mnt]# yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

The hard drive shows in GUI, but doesn't open or mount as I expected.
The output of uname -a and rpm -qa|grep kernel|sort kernel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL are:
[root@Production mnt]# uname -a Linux Production 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed May 24 05:28:30 CDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am guessing that I am using mismatched versions of kernels but just not getting there... Tried looking all over the place for a solution, haven't had any luck yet!
Thanks.

As far as I know you just run the following command as root:
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
Where /dev/sda1 is the location of your USB media and /mnt/windows is where you want your mountpoint to be.
The hard drive shows in GUI, but doesn't open or mount as I expected.
I didn't see you run the above mount command, what did you do to mount the device?
Thank you for your reply. I tried to give the mount command but got back some errors, here is the detail
[root@Production mnt]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbdrive
FATAL: Module fuse not found. Error reading bootsector: Input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details.
Thanks.

Now, I am getting the error messages as follows:
FATAL: Module fuse not found. ntfs-3g-mount: fuse device is missing, try 'modprobe fuse' as root
Thanks for any help.

Well, did you try running that? What are the results?

I am guessing that I am using mismatched versions of kernels but just not getting there... Tried looking all over the place for a solution, haven't had any luck yet!
I guess you need a kernel-devel package that matches your running kernel. For instance, you need either a kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL, or (better solution) install kernel-smp-2.6.9-78.0.22.EL and boot the machine with it. If you run an "yum update" or "yum update kernel-smp" it should do that, unless you messed yum.conf with excludes or changed /etc/sysconfig/kernel...
By the way, next time please use a subject that describes your issue and not just 'Welcome to the "CentOS" mailing list'.
HTH, Filipe
