Data mounting ntfs volume in RHEL5

Need a little help here.

I am having trouble mounting an NTFS volume in RHEL5, here are the commands.

Code:
root # mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/my-volume
FATAL: Module fuse not found.
ntfs-3g-mount: fuse device is missing, try 'modprobe fuse' as root
root # modprobe fuse
FATAL: Module fuse not found.


Thank You.

You need to enable FUSE in the kernel config and compile a new kernel.
It can be found in menuconfig as:

File Systems ->

The fuse kernel module is not loaded on your system. modprobe is failing, because it cannot find kernel module.

If you're not depending on something added from RH addition to drivers and such, just fetch the vanilla kernel source from ftp.kernel.org convinient located at linux-2.6.33

Copy your "normal configuration" ie: cp /boot/config-`uname -r` /where_you_ve_unpacked_the_vanilla_kernel/.config

and chenge to that directory, issue "make menuconfig" and assure the FUSE addition has been made.

Then issue:
Code:
make
make modules_install
make install
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.33.img 2.6.33
cp .config /boot/config-2.6.33
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.33
ln -s /boot/System.map-2.6.33 /boot/System.map

If, this is causing any trouble, please follow the Instructions for compiling a kernel under RH5, making sure that you've enabled the FUSE module.

You have to install FUSE module manually 1st ,then install ntfs-3g ,then only u can mount the ntfs filesystem .
Or you may use repositories of rpmforge/epel to install them through yum .
