How to enable Linux to support NTFS partitions

We all know that Linux does not support the NTFS partition type by default, but if your computer is a dual system, it is a pleasure to make Linux support the NTFS partition! In this way, you can easily ask the information on the Windows disk, or upload the information to the Linux disk in Windows. In fact, Linux supports NTFS partition types by installing corresponding software. Next I will introduce how to implement it.

1, download ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs software source package online, and unzip to the desktop

[Root @ localhost Desktop] # ls

Ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2013.1.13.tgz

[Root @ localhost Desktop] # tar-zxvfntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2013.1.13.tgz-C ./

2. Prepare the installation environment of the source code package.

[Root @ localhost ~] # Yum install gc *-y ...... Configure the gcc and g ++ development environments

Failed to set locale, defaulting to C

3. Enter the extract directory and execute the configuration file.

[Root @ localhost ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2013.1.13] #./configure

Checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

4. Compile and install

[Root @ localhost ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2013.1.13] # make & make install

...................................

...............

5. Add a partition to sda and specify the file type.

[Root @ localhost ~] # Fdisk/dev/sda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to10443.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is largerthan 1024,

And coshould in certain setups cause problems:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., oldversions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

(E.g., DOSFDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): n ...... Add a partition

First cylinder (4103-10443, default 4103 ):

Using default value 4103

Last cylinder or + size or + sizeM or + sizeK (4103-10443, default 10443): + 10G ...... Size: 10 GB

Command (m for help): t ...... Partition type

Partition number (1-6): 6 ...... Select the second logical Partition

Hex code (type L to list codes): 7 ...... Type 7 is NTFS

Changed system type of partition 6 to 7 (HPFS/NTFS)

Command (m for help): p ...... View results

6. format the new partition.

[Root @ localhost ~] # Partprobe ...... Retrieve partition information again

[Root @ localhost ~] # Mkfs. ntfs/dev/sda6 ...... Format a disk with ntfs

7. Create/NTFS/folder

[Root @ localhost ~] # Mkdir-p/NTFS/

8. Mount sda6 to the new NTFS.

[Root @ localhost ~] # Mount-tntfs-3g/dev/sda6/NTFS /...... Mount the specified file system as a ntfs-3g or it will not be mounted

9. View mounting information

[Root @ localhost ~] # Df-lT

Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use % Mounted on

/Dev/sda2 ext3 20315844 2713692 16553512 15%/

/Dev/sda1 ext3 101086 12200 83667 13%/boot

/Dev/sda6 fuseblk 9775520 49624 9725896 1%/NTFS

Tmpfs 511920 0 511920 0%/dev/shm

10. The above mounting will become invalid after restart, so you need to configure sda6 to automatically mount after boot.

[Root @ localhost ~] # Vim/etc/fstab

 

LABEL = // ext3 defaults 1 1

LABEL =/boot ext3 defaults 1 2

Tmpfs/dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

Devpts/dev/pts devpts gid = 5, mode = 620 0 0

Sysfs/sys sysfs defaults 0 0

Proc/proc defaults 0 0

LABEL = SWAP-sda3 swap defaults 0 0

/Dev/sda6/NTFS ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

The ntfs file type in fstab is specified as a ntfs-3g, otherwise automatic mounting will not be available
