NTFS on UNIX

NTFS on UNIX

FreeBSD 7.x

Mount an NTFS partition,

#setenv PACKAGESITE ...

pkg_add -r fusefs-ntfs

cd /etc/rc.d

ln -s ../../usr/local/etc/rc.d/fusefs

echo "fusefs_enable=yes" >> /etc/rc.conf

/etc/rc.d/fusefs start

#kldload /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko

mkdir /mnt/g

ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/ad6s2 /mnt/g

umount /mnt/g

Note. the mount_ntfs has a known issue, so no automatic mount at boot,

# Doen't work within fstab, use ntfs-3g command line in rc.local

#/dev/ad6s2              /mnt/g          ntfs-fuse rw,late       0       0

Note. the "ntfsprogs" package is another project (Linux-NTFS).
