NTFS on Centos10

Our Neighbors CentOS

I realized yesterday that my centos 8 was no longer supported (and that there was a centos 10!). I found there was no official/simple upgrade path, so i reformatted and installed 10 last night.

I had a windows share on centos 8 (dual-booting), i tried mounting it on 10, but i get an error: filesystem type ntfs3 not configured in kernel

I tried looking up ntfs-3g package, as i had to install that to get ntfs share mounted, but it is not available for centos 10. is there any way to get windows to be mounted on 10?

That’s too long a workaround :slight_smile:

For anyone who may find this useful:

i found that ntfs-3g has a github (GitHub - tuxera/ntfs-3g: NTFS-3G Safe Read/Write NTFS Driver). I downloaded the latest release tar and extracted it. I followed the README in that tar; I ran ./configure and then make.

I then found the partition i wanted to mount from fdisk -l, then ran
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/nvme1n1p2 /mnt/windows_share

Currently EPEL does not provide the ntfs-3g package for C10S.
