Mounting an NTFS filesystem
Example:
Suppose your ntfs filesystem is /dev/sda2 and you are going to mount it on /mnt/ntfsPart, do the following.
# mkdir /mnt/ntfsPart
Edit /etc/fstab as follows:
To mount read-only:
/dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfsPart ntfs-3g ro,umask=0222,defaults 0 0
To mount read-write:
/dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfsPart ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults 0 0

Mount it by running:
#mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfsPart
