Get NTFS/exfat access on CentOS 6.8 i386

Today I needed to have pen drive support on a CentOS 6.8 i386 box. That’s how I got it:

  1. Getting the NTFS/exfat support
    su
    yum install epel-release
    yum install ntfs-3g
    yum install ntfsprogs ntfsprogs-gnomevfs
    yum -y install epel-release && rpm -Uvh
     http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el6/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-2.el6.nux.noarch.rpm
    yum update
    yum install fuse-exfat exfat-utils
  2. Actually mounting the device
    fdisk -l
    mount -t exfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/
