When a linux system Red Hat Enterprise5.7 is used to mount a Seagate ntfs mobile hard drive, an ERROR prompt box is displayed: the volume 'eaget-nqh' user the ntfs file system which is not supported by your system. here, 'eaget-nqh' is the name of my mobile hard drive.

Find information found that linux supports ntfs format partitions need to install ntfs-3g plug-in, download and install it,

What is NTFS-3G

NTFS-3G is an open source software that supports reading and writing NTFS format partitions in Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, NetBSD, and Haiku operating systems. It can quickly and securely operate Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista file systems, except for full file ownership and access permissions, it supports all POSIX-compliant disk operations.

NTFS-3G is designed to provide trusted, functional, high-performance solutions for hardware platforms and operating systems that require reliable interconnectivity with NTFS.

Install ntfs-3g as follows:
1. Compile and install the fuse module (supported libraries. skip this step if the editing environment has been configured)

# Make install

# Lsmod

# Modprobe fuse

# Mkn // after you enter mkn and press the tab key twice, you will find that the mknfs command is supported
Mknod mkntfs

Note:-t ntfs-3g parameters should be used for Disk Partitions In ntfs format, and-t vfat parameters should be used for disk partitions in fat32 format. If the Chinese character file name is garbled or not displayed, you can use the following command format.

# Mount-t ntfs-3g-o iocharset = cp936/dev/sdi1/media
