Problem: NTFS USB drives would not mount - display message Error mounting /dev/sda1 at /run/media/[username]/[disk label]: Filesystem type ntfs3,ntfs not configured in kernel.

Fix: added the ntfs-3g driver.

Testing: I used the following commands

sudo bootc usroverlay
sudo dnf install -y epel-release ntfs-3g

to temporarily install ntfs-3g on my machine, and check that it allows NTFS external drives to mount correctly.

CentOS Stream 9 kernels ship without ntfs/ntfs3 support, so USB
drives formatted as NTFS fail to mount ('Filesystem type ntfs3,ntfs
not configured in kernel'). ntfs-3g is a driver from EPEL that
allows CentOS to mount NTFS drives.
