How to Install and Use NTFS-3G on Mac OS X
NTFS-3G is an open source project that provides read/write support for NTFS file systems on Mac OS X. It is based on the leading NTFS driver for Linux and other platforms, and also includes additional features such as file ownership and permissions, POSIX ACLs, extended attributes and compression. If you want to access NTFS volumes on your Mac without any limitations, NTFS-3G is a great solution.
In this article, we will show you how to download, install and use NTFS-3G on Mac OS X. We will also explain some of the benefits and drawbacks of using this driver, and how to troubleshoot some common issues.
Downloading NTFS-3G
The latest version of NTFS-3G for Mac OS X is 2017.3.23, which was released on June 28, 2017[^1^]. You can download the source code from the project's GitHub page[^2^], or use a package manager such as Homebrew or MacPorts to install it. If you prefer a ready-to-use installer version, you can also purchase Tuxera NTFS, which is based on NTFS-3G and supports the project with your payment[^1^].
Installing NTFS-3G
If you download the source code, you will need to compile it yourself using the following commands in a terminal window:
./configure
make
make install # or 'sudo make install' if you aren't root.
You will also need to have the basic development tools and the FUSE kernel module installed on your system. If you use a package manager, it will take care of these dependencies for you.
After installing NTFS-3G, you will need to replace the stock /sbin/mount_ntfs command with a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g. This will allow you to mount NTFS volumes seamlessly in the Finder. To do this, run the following commands in a terminal window:
sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /sbin/mount_ntfs
Using NTFS-3G
Once you have installed and configured NTFS-3G, you can use it to access any NTFS volume on your Mac. Simply plug in your external drive or insert your USB stick, and it will show up in the Finder as a read/write volume. You can also use the mount command to manually mount an NTFS volume with specific options. For example:
mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=501,gid=20 /dev/disk2s1 /Volumes/NTFS
This command will mount the first partition of disk2 as an NTFS volume named \"NTFS\" with user ID 501 and group ID 20 (the default values for a standard user account on Mac OS X). You can use the diskutil list command to find out the device name of your NTFS volume.
You can also use the ntfsprogs utilities that come with NTFS-3G to perform various tasks on your NTFS volumes, such as checking and repairing errors, resizing partitions, creating and deleting files and directories, etc. For more information, see the ntfsprogs manual pages or run them with the -h option.
Benefits and Drawbacks of NTFS-3G
NTFS-3G is a powerful and reliable driver that allows you to fully access your NTFS volumes on Mac OS X. It supports most of the features of NTFS, such as file ownership and permissions, POSIX ACLs, extended attributes and compression. It also supports Windows 8 fast restart mode and Windows 10 new compressed file formats through plugins[^3^]. It is updated regularly by its developers and has been tested extensively by its users.
However, there are also some drawbacks of using NTFS-3G. One of them is aa16f39245
