Failed to mount NTFS on CentOS

# mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hardisk1

mount: unknown filesystem type ‘ntfs’

This message appears when you try to mount the media with ntfs filesystem.
Somehow the default centos kernel doesnt support it, you may upgrade to centosplus or try to configure your box as follows:

yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse
or download the packages from :
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/fuse/

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/fuse-ntfs-3g/

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/dkms-fuse/

then install the packages :

# rpm -ihv dkms-fuse-* fuse*

Mount Device to /media/myntfs

# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/myntfs

If you still fail, try this article http://www.domainnameyahoo.info/mount-ntfs-using-centos-plus/
