.@hal_pomeranz you can install ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs from the epel repo for RHEL/CentOS (epel contains rebuilt fedora packages).

@hal_pomeranz wasn't that a big todo how many years back? I recall default include went to default exclude. Or was that fbsd? #gettingold

@hal_pomeranz I'm sure there's a good reason for it, something like RedHat secretly hates you (and Microsoft).
