Mount unknown file system type NTFS CentOS
By default CentOS does not support the ‘NTFS’ file system, if you are tying to mount an NTFS file system you will need to have installed correct RPM package
# wget packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uhv rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
warning: rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6

Make a directory for mount a file system to /mnt/usb
# mkdir /mnt/usb

Execute the mount command
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/
Open the mounted directory /mnt/usb
# cd /mnt/usb/
# ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 39 root root 4096 May 11 09:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jan 11 09:34 ..
Now the ntfs partition mounts perfect.
# df -h
