I had a bit of an "Ooops" moment yesterday, when I had an urgent need to share some virtual machines with a colleague; Active Directory 2003 and DB2 UDB / IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator.
Having converted them from VirtualBox to VMware ( more on this in another post ), I went to write them to his USB drive ....
Ah, his drive is formatted with NTFS because he uses Windows .....
... and my USB drive is formatted with HFS+ because I use it with Linux and Mac ....
Thankfully, a quick Google search helped me add NTFS support to CentOS: -
RPMforge for CentOS 6.0
$ wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
$ rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
$ rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm
$ rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm
$ yum -y install ntfs-3g
I've used NTFS-3G and MacFUSE on the OSX Lion box, but this is the first time I've tried it with CentOS.
Nice one :-)
