I edited the script so that every user except for the Guest have read/write permissions, independently from the user who mounted the filesystem. sbin/ntfs_mount.rw so that you can restore it quickly if this happens. You can keep a backup of the script at e.g. Update: it seems that OSX can overwrite the /sbin/ntfs_mount script during a system update, so if a NTFS drive suddenly goes readonly again, it’s probably that. If it still doesn’t work, see if /var/log/ntfsmnt.log gives you any clues. If it doesn’t work, try to turn it off and on again.

the script assumes MacPorts was used, so replace /opt/local/bin/ntfs-3g with /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g for HomebrewĪnd that’s it, you should be able to unmount drives and mount them again using Disk Utility as read-write filesystems.

If you have a single user or if the user is the first one created in the system, the default values will just work.

the script needs to have a hardcoded UID of a specific user on whose behalf NTFS drives will be mounted.

The post is long so just scroll to the part that says “Ok, at this point you should have a functional fuse4x and ntfs-3g install” and create an alternative /sbin/ntfs_mount script as described there.

Basically you have to copy one file from the Homebrew package directory into /System/Library using sudo.įollow the instructions from a blog post that explains how to make OSX use NTFS-3G when mounting drives.

DESINSTALAR NTFS 3G INSTALL

Install latest Fuse4X (a fork of MacFUSE) and NTFS-3G packages: brew install fuse4xįollow the instructions in the auto-included fuse4x-kext package ( brew info fuse4x-kext). You can reboot OSX just to be sure the old stuff is gone – your NTFS partitions should mount as read only now. You can use the “Uninstall” buttons in Preferences panels, but at least for MacFUSE that didn’t work for me, so if it doesn’t, just remove the panels from Preferences. Just to be safe, remove old MacFUSE and NTFS-3G.

It’s not completely automatic – you’ll need to do a few things in the terminal, but it shouldn’t take more than a few minutes in total. I’m going to assume you haven’t lived under a rock for the last couple of years and you’re using Homebrew, not MacPorts. The fastest way IMHO is to install packages from the command line, because – at least in case of NTFS-3G – it’s hard to tell from the website which version is the right one.

If you want to avoid paying, the right way is to replace latest stable MacFUSE with something that works on Lion.īased on a few blog posts and comments I managed to find a way that worked for me, so I thought I’d put it all here in one place for others. The problem is that MacFUSE is not maintained anymore and doesn’t work with a 64-bit kernel which is used by default in Lion.įirst Google results usually point you to commercial solutions, but I’m not willing to pay for something as basic as filesystem support, which, frankly, Apple should have provided themselves long time ago. However, that doesn’t work anymore on Lion.

I’ve previously used MacFUSE and NTFS-3G, which is probably the most commonly used solution for people who want full NTFS access on OSX (as you probably know, by default OSX only provides read only support).

I’m using NTFS on my Windows XP partition and on a WD external drive. After I upgraded my Mac to Lion this month, I’ve noticed that my NTFS drives stopped working.
