I need to update my computer from a 10.9.5 to a minimum of a 10.10, how can I do that without losing my files? This time I received the following request from a customer. o allow_other > /var/log/mount-ntfs-3g.Another information technology problemo in the world order. GROUP_ID=`/usr/bin/stat -f %g /dev/console` USER_ID=`/usr/bin/stat -f %u /dev/console` Thats it, now all mounted NTFS drives can be written to, if it doesn’t work off the bat try a restart.įor reference the modified mount_ntfs file that was linked to earlier in the process is similar to Fernando Figueiredo with a very minor tweak (his tutorial uses Mac Ports). brew info fuse4x-kextįollow the 2 commands as highlighted sudo cp -rfX /usr/local/Cellar/fuse4x-kext/0.9.2/Library/Extensions/fuse4x.kext /Library/Extensions sudo chmod +s /Library/Extensions/fuse4x.kext/Support/load_fuse4x Re-Attach/Mount Your NTFS Drive If you already have an older version of fuse4x you’ll need to also to run the other commands listed before installing this version. To see the commands required use the command below or simply run the 2 commands below the screen grab.
The last install is the fuse4x Install fuse4x kernel instructions Link to the new sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/2013.1.13/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs Launch Terminal: Install fuse4x brew install fuse4xĪny necessary dependant software will also get installed including autoconf, automake and libtool Install ntfs-3g brew install ntfs-3gĪt this point your are prompted to change the mount_ntfs file, the new file will allow the writes to NTFS, these commands will back up the original and then link to the modified one as supplied by Brew/ntfs-3gīack up the original sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig Once you have Xcode and Homebrew the following will allow you to write to NTFS disks. To start with you are going to need Xcode and some Unix style application packages – and what makes this easy on OSX is Homebrew, a package manager for OSX, follow this guide if you haven’t already got it,it will get you up to speed on both Xcode and Homebrew first, after that come back here and tackle the rest below which involves installing a couple of apps and tweaking a couple of files. This post has been updated March 2013 and uses the newer fuse4x version 0.9.2
This has been tested in both OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion and OS X 10.7 Lion. You can write to these disks with a few installs and tweaks in the Terminal, which will make all NTFS drives writeable – there are also some commercial point and click apps that can get the job done if you don’t fancy wading into the Terminal. By default you can’t write to Windows NTFS hard disk and USB drives as they appear as read only on the Desktop’s of OS X users – which is a bit of a pain in the ass!
