Mounting an NTFS drive on Linux
I recently needed to mount a USB drive, containing a large VM, onto my linux 5.5 laptop.  Here is the command to do just that.
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 -o force
The force was necessary.  You may also have to install fuse-ntfs-3g RPM package is not already on your linux distro.
