To mount NTFS USB sticks under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5:

  • Click on Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

The device can be mounted in the normal way, i.e. by typing

 $ mount <dev-name> <mountpoint>

where <dev-name> is the fully qualified device name of the USB stick and <mountpoint> is where you'd like to mount the filesystem. The device name will usually be something like /dev/sdb1 and the mountpoint can be any empty directory in your home directory. To unmount the device, type

 $ /bin/fusermount -u <mountpoint>
