Mount ntfs in fstab and shell

From LinuxNewbie

Some distros include ntfs read support in the kernel. Fedora/Red Hat will require that you install a module from http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/. Once you have installed the rpm continue.

These assume it is the first partition on the Primary Master. (If you are uncertain which is your ntfs partition, you can find out by using 'fdisk -l') First, become root:

su -

You will need to create an empty directory to be a mount point:

mkdir /mnt/c

To mount manually:

mount -t ntfs -o umask=0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/c

To mount automatically, add this line to /etc/fstab"

/dev/hda1  /mnt/c  ntfs  defaults,umask=0  0  1
