mount NTFS on linux

#how to mount a ntfs partition/drive on linux

   ntfs-3g is an opensource ntfs driver for linux

   #yum install ntfs-3g
   

2. detect your ntfs partition name

   parted is an gnu partition tool that can analize disk like fdisk which support GPT

   #parted  
       >print all
   

   find you ntfs partition name. eg. /dev/sdb1

3. mount

   #mkdir /mnt/ntfs
   #mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs
   

   now you can vist /mnt/ntfs
