I can not mount an ntfs usb drive attached to a server running with pve

When I try

# mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /mnt/data
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

Which is true from the above list

So, how can I mount an ntfs usb drive with the above specs?

Thank you
 
Yes I have tried the fs type ntfs-3g and I get fs type unknown error.
If you look at the output of the

~# ls /lib/modules/2.6.18-2-pve/kernel/fs

autofs4 dlm fscache hfsplus msdos reiserfs vzdquota.ko
cachefiles exportfs fuse jbd2 nfs simfs.ko xfs
cifs ext4 gfs jffs2 nfs_common squashfs
configfs fat gfs2 jfs nfsd udf
cramfs freevxfs hfs lockd nls vfat

you see that ntfs and ntfs-3g and not listed.
How can they be added?
 
ntfs-3g has to be installed separately, but you should be able to access ntfs also as cifs filesystem (i'm not sure...)
maybe you hve to specify user/group with the -o option?

[edited, i was wrong...]
