Ntfs-3g

From M1Research

For mounting ntfs partitions under linux we will use ntfs-3g packet, which can be downloaded for example from search page http://rpm.pbone.net/

This example is for Fedora 6.

1. Current work directory

          [root@bm rpms]# pwd
          /usr/src/rpms

2. Download ntfs-3g-devel-1.913-2.fc6.i386.rpm :

     [root@bm rpms]# wget ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/ntfs-3g-devel-1.913-2.fc6.i386.rpm
     --11:39:08--  ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/fedora/linux/extras/6/i386/ntfs-3g-devel-1.913-2.fc6.i386.rpm
     => `ntfs-3g-devel-1.913-2.fc6.i386.rpm'

3. Now we will try to install downloaded package:

     [root@bm rpms]# rpm -vhi ntfs-3g-devel-1.913-2.fc6.i386.rpm
     warning: ntfs-3g-devel-1.913-2.fc6.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1ac70ce6
     error: Failed dependencies:
                  libntfs-3g.so.12 is needed by ntfs-3g-devel-1.913-2.fc6.i386
                  ntfs-3g = 2:1.913-2.fc6 is needed by ntfs-3g-devel-1.913-2.fc6.i386

but we see that some failed dependencies are present, so we will try to find them and then continue installation.
