These instructions have been liberally copied from this excellent blog post.
Step 1. Install the ntfs-3g port.
sudo port install ntfs-3g
Step 2. Find out your userid and groupid.
User ID:
id -u
Group ID:
id -g
Step 3. Use a modified mount_ntfs executable and save the OS X original to /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig
sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig sudo touch /sbin/mount_ntfs sudo chmod 0755 /sbin/mount_ntfs sudo chown 0:0 /sbin/mount_ntfs sudo nano /sbin/mount_ntfs
Then paste in the following code and save it by typing Control-X and pressing "Y". NOTE:
- You can optionally substitute in your User ID and Group ID (from Step 2 above) in place of 501 and 20 in lines 4 and 5 below.
- This script also assumes the standard MacPorts install location of
/opt/local/
so you will need to modify it if yours is different.
