    That's easy, you should have it in your RHEL repository, just search in there for NTFS, you should get a few different ones which may or may not be useful. You want the RPM called ntfsprogs for memory. You can get most filesystem types that way. ReiserFS, Reiser4, JFS, XFS, HFS, HFS+, BTRFS, etc... The only one i have had trouble getting support for is Reiser4, and i have partial support for JFS running RHEL (Oracle). Would be nice if RHEL/ Oracle supported at least JFS, XFS, BTRFS at installation along with EXT2/3/4.

    If its not provided in the base RHEL repo provided by Red Hat you may need to install a third-party repo to get it, or build it from source.

    Install ATrpms repository and use yum command to install fuse and ntfs-3g packages.
    Execute mount.ntfs-3g command to mount NTFS partition.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I see the package (ntfs-3g) available in the EPEL repo for RHEL 6.

    Go here for instructions on installing/using the EPEL repo.

    If I were you, I'd disable the ATrpms repo first, to avoid conflicting deps, etc.

    nfts-3g caused me problems too on install for the repos with a RHEL clone, i've had the problem several times first with Scientific Linux and then with Oracle Linux. It must be a RHEL thing.

    Did you try nftsprogs?? I install that and it automatically installed the others as dependencies. Thats how i got around the problem.
