Make Linux support NTFS File Type

CEntOS - 5 and RHEL-5/6 is not supporting mounting of NTFS partition, fix harddisk, removable usb harddisk with NTFS partition, some packages need to be installed on it to make NTFS mountable.

1) First confirm you kernel version

[root@demo ~]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.X.el6.x86_64

3) Install it :

[root@demo src]# rpm -ivh ntfs-3g-2011.4.12-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
