# show the devices available – in my case it is /dev/sdc1
fdisk -l
# from root
mkdir -p /media/USB
[root@mega ~]# mount /dev/sdc1 /media/USB
mount: unknown filesystem type ‘ntfs’
# so the os new it was and is an ntfs file system – it was right – you get the same error if you add -t ntfs
[root@mega ~]# mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /media/USB
mount: unknown filesystem type ‘ntfs’
# so add the packages that will allow the OS to recognize ntfs as follows:
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum install epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum install ntfs-3g
# Now redo the mount command
[root@mega USB]# mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /media/USB
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
The file system wasn’t safely closed on Windows. Fixing.
# and it did fix and mount it – took a minute
