Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-11-16 15:57:24 UTC
AFAIK ntfs-3g is not a RHEL component.  Reassigning to EPEL 6.

Comment 3 Scotty 2014-11-16 16:56:48 UTC
Package: ntfs-3g-2014.2.15-6.el6.x86_64

after update filesystem ntfs cannot be found.

cat /proc/filesystems
no ntfs filesystem

Hi,

I encountered the same issue, installed ntfsprogs-2014.2.15-7.el6 and ntfs-3g-2014.2.15-7.el6 from epel-testing. Now I can mount a NTFS USB stick, but I still fail to see any file or directory.

Please let me know which info you need for further debugging.

Matthias

One more observation: I went back to ntfs-3g-2011.4.12-5.el6, and that works fine even with RHEL6.6, kernel 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64
