But there were some things I wanted to add/improve and so ended up rewriting parts of it and adding additional features: This is a AppleScript code for a droplet so you can just drag&drop your drive on it and it automatically remounts it with the ntfs-3g driver. But that package is no longer available (hopefully it will be back by popular demand).Įither way, I was more interested in mounting my drive read/write only when I needed it and not as a default but soon got tired of typing in these terminal codes each time and found something beautiful on the AppleNova forums. There used to be a nice package by ShadowOfGed automounting all NTFS drives with the ntfs-3g driver etc.

After mounting the drive with ntfs-3g drivers your drive will appear with a network icon (apparently this is normal, so no worries). Basically it is a couple of terminal codes.

STEERMOUSE ID CODE HOW TO
On the webpage of Daniel Johnson you will also find the instructions how to mount your NTFS drive with the ntfs-3g driver. What I stumbled upon is MacFUSE and the ntfs-3g driver:įirst, install the latest MacFUSE release (restart required) then get the ntfs-3g driver ( here is a binary package).

Since all my external Hard drives were NTFS formatted I was looking for a possibility to write on NTFS drives under OSX (without the work-around of using Windows under Parallels or vmware). For a lot of people switching to a Mac after using a PC for years the fact that there is no NTFS write support under OS X is a huge disappointment.
