Hi All,
How to access NTFS usb drive in Rocky Linux 9?
I installed Rocky Linux release 9.0 (Blue Onyx) in VMware machine, but
when I plug a usb drive, Rocky Linux can’t open the files from my usb.
I already installed ntfs-3g but still I can’t open any usb drive in my Rocky Linux 9.
Please help.
Best regards,
Marben
Start by checking the logs at the exact moment that you plug in the usb drive.
Hi gerry666uk,
I can not find any error messages when I plug the usb device to my Rocky Linux.
How to check the logs of the usb drive?

Hi,
I re installed rocky linux 9 in my other pc, this time I found error message.
Error mounting dev/sdb1
Error is, unknown file system type ‘nttfs3,ntfs’.
Please see attached file.
Please help.

It looks like the USB part is working, it just doesn’t like the filesystem.
Are you sure you installed the ntfs driver to this new PC?
cat /proc/filesystems
You are mounting in GUI, which uses different subsystems to mounting as root in a console.
In the GUI, see ‘man gio’, and for the console see ‘man mount’ and ‘-t fstype’
Hi,
I did not yet installed the ntfs driver to my new pc.

Try:
dnf install epel-release
dnf install ntfs-3g
The ntfs-3g package is in EPEL repository, so the first command installs that. The second installs the NTFS package.
hI,
iI will try that.
Thank tou very much for replying.
