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 |
@lankesh install the latest osxfuse 3.0.6 dmg works for me.
More details here: macfuse/macfuse#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 ?
