Remove osxfuse if installed via homebrew: | |
> brew uninstall osxfuse | |
Install osxfuse binary and choose to install the MacFUSE compatibility layer: | |
http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxfuse/files/latest/download?source=files | |
Reboot (optional but recommended by osxfuse) | |
Install ntfs-3g via homebrew: | |
> brew update && brew install ntfs-3g | |
Link mount_ntfs: | |
> sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.original | |
> sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/2014.2.15/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs | |
The output of the following should be as below: | |
> ls -l /sbin/mount_ntfs* | |
/sbin/mount_ntfs -> /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/2014.2.15/sbin/mount_ntfs | |
/sbin/mount_ntfs.original -> /System/Library/Filesystems/ntfs.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_ntfs | |
Reboot and voila |
I'm getting the same error as @medoix
double sad.
try
brew install Caskroom/cask/osxfuse
then
brew install homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g
Edit: working with sibte's solution
After I did this, my drive does not show up anywhere? :(
brew install homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g
Because of Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#33298 the brew install Caskroom/cask/osxfuse
step suggested by @sibte is probably required on Yosemite. What is more you HAVE TO use version agnostic symlinking provided by @crcastle https://gist.github.com/crcastle/5aa97cbce28bf3ff5d1a because current ntfs-3g version (at the time of writing this) is 2015.3.14 not 2014.2.15 (hard coded in this gist)
I experienced "not show up" bug when I didn't restart my OS after making changes (changing symlink).
Doesn't work
Update:
I finally write files in my ntfs drive doing a few steps after brew install homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g
sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0"
[reboot]
sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.original
sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs
sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=1"
[reboot]
After several unsuccessful attempts, my NTFS hard disk R/W works. This is summarising the above steps.
Note: use of --force
may not be necessary for you. Also, I don't think sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0"
method really worked.
Uninstall via Brew
brew uninstall --force osxfuse
brew uninstall --force ntfs-3g
Uninstall via System Preferences
In System Preferences
I could still see FUSE for OSX
and NTFS-3G
icons. So I went inside and manually removed each (by clicking Remove OSXFUSE button
for example).
Installation steps
brew update
brew install Caskroom/cask/osxfuse --force
brew install homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g
Link mount_ntfs
sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.original
Note: Output of installing ntfs-3g was: /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/2015.3.14: 87 files, 2.0M, built in 27 seconds
, so the symbolic link was set as follows:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/2015.3.14/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs
Reboot mac:
sudo reboot
Worked for me! Thanks everyone!
There is one problem that I am facing, the name of the mounted directory keeps on adding incremental numbers and the old directory is not deleted
Say my external HD's label is "WD HD" then when I mount it for the first time it says "WD HD".
But when I unmount it and re-mount it then the label changes to "WD HD 1" and the old label is still there in "/Volumes".
Any idea on how to fix this?
Hi all, Has any way to add option format "Windows NT System" to erase action in Disk Utility.
@lankesh install the latest osxfuse 3.0.6 dmg works for me.
More details here: osxfuse/osxfuse#119 (comment)
brew cask uninstall osxfuse
brew uninstall homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g
# install osxfuse 3.0.6 dmg
brew install homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g
# check the symlink is still there:
ls -al /sbin/mount_ntfs
/sbin/mount_ntfs -> /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs
ls -al /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs
/usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs -> ../Cellar/ntfs-3g/2015.3.14/sbin/mount_ntfs
Hey,
everything worked for me, but when i try
sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.original
it says Operation Not Permitted
@rezaprima you mean i should install the osxfuse 3.0.6 dmg?
Sorry, but i'm not an expert....
Solved Problem:
I Had to disable SIP in recovery after that, it works.
Thanks, this worked. My instructions at this date were slightly different.
Using OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 (15F34)
brew install Caskroom/cask/osxfuse
brew update && brew install ntfs-3g
- Rebooted and pressed Command + R, then from Terminal, ran
csrutil disable
sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.original
sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/2016.2.22/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs
- Verified with
ls -l /sbin/mount_ntfs*
The same works on macOS Sierra. Make sure to run steps 4+ in regular macOS.
@sindhus instructions - change step 5 to 'sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs' worked for for MacOS Sierra
any news on this for mojave shit ?
:(
