You'll need to install the ntfs-3g package from the EPEL repository. That's a third party repo so you'll need to install that first.

Re: [RESOLVED] Can't mount external NTFS hard drive
I did the following as 'root' and it worked:
#> rpm -ivh http://mirror.chpc.utah.edu/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
#> yum install ntfs-3g
Thank you.

Had the same problem, but on CENTOS7.
Followed the instructions on this link and worked like a charm for CENTOS7;
so I am thinking this may work for other versions as well:

Better still, don't click on the link at all since it takes you to a site with intrusive adverts. The gist of the article is just 2 commands in any case:
Code: Select all
yum --enablerepo=extras install epel-release
yum install ntfs-3g
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
