NTFS USB drive on Linus Lite

I am using Linus Lite and found I could not access my USB Hard Drive as it is NTFS.

I have added ntfs-3g

Steps:

1. Press "alt+F2" keys and type "terminal" to open up a terminal mode

2. Type "sudo yum install ntfs-3g" to install the software

Once installed I rebooted and have full access to the USB NTFS drive.

 

Thanks, perfect easy steps to problem solution.

 

Brilliant thank you! Worked even without the reboot!

 

I use ext3 on my external drives because there are drivers for Windows.

 

didn't have that option as usb drive had been set up on a windows PC!

 

It seems to me that my OneTouch4Mini Maxtor Disk is mounted like this:
/dev/sdb1 on /media/OneTouch4 Mini type fuseblk (ro,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
and it sometimes turns off which is annoying.
Can I mend with udev to change this? (And where in case of yes)

 

Read this article to get an idea about what is happening ...

With certain Seagate drives (IDE), there is a switch in hdparm to turn off suspend mode in Linux that suspend like that. BUT, I don't know where things are at with drives like yours? Maybe it's a SATA drive in that enclosure? Looks like the easiest solution is to attach it to a Windoze box and set the suspend option to off there. This suspend "feature" is programmed within the electronics of the drive, btw. It *might* be possible that sdparm can handle it now from Linux, but I have no idea. You'll have to google, if you don't have access to Windoze to turn off the suspend.

Cheers.
