Getting "FATAL: Module fuse not found." when trying to mount NTFS drive using ntfs-3g
Command "modprobe fuse" ends in same message.
Looked for any "fuse" package on my Linux CD : not there. Then again, I got ntfs-3g from the net ... somewhere.
Any alternative for this ntfs-3g stuff ?

In case anybody wonders, the issue didn't solve itself ... it'll probably never work. NTFS access from Linux will remain beta-project forever

Install fuse package for your linux distro.
Ex - Redhat / Fedora / CentOSDownload fuse-2.7.0.tar.gz from
http://sourceforge.net/project/show...
In root terminal# tar –zxvf fuse-2.7.0.tar.gz
# cd fuse-2.7.0
# ./configure
# make
# make install
# lsmod
# modprobe fuse
Then (re)configure and install ntfs-3g
# tar –zxvf ntfs-3g-1.5130.tar.gz
# cd ntfs-3g-1.5130
# ./configure -–enable-fuse-module
# make
# make install
Then mount your ntfs drive in linux.
# mkdir /mnt/windows
# mount –t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
Now, you can Read/Write NTFS formatted drive in Linux.
Hope This help you.
