before writing I made a lot of trials and I did read a lot of posts and google results: the results are or very old and no more working or claiming the
/etc/fstab
solution is no more working and that one should make "my hand" sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,nobrowse /dev/disk4s1 /Volumes/Disk1TB
without specifying that this must be done every single time...
I summarize (also adding weird things I see):
1. Installed ntfs-3g for Mac, via brew with brew install ntfs-3g-mac
.
2. if I do:
bozzo@host-10-25-128-252:duranti> sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,nobrowse /dev/disk4s1 /Volumes/Disk1TB
bozzo@host-10-25-128-252:duranti> touch /Volumes/Disk1TB/prova
bozzo@host-10-25-128-252:duranti> ls /Volumes/Disk1TB/prova
/Volumes/Disk1TB/prova
bozzo@host-10-25-128-252:duranti> ls -lh /Volumes/Disk1TB/prova
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bozzo staff 0B 4 Lug 15:47 /Volumes/Disk1TB/prova
I'm able to mount RW.
3. if I do:
bozzo@host-10-25-128-252:duranti> sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto /dev/disk4s1 /Volumes/Disk1TB
bozzo@host-10-25-128-252:duranti> touch /Volumes/Disk1TB/prova
touch: /Volumes/Disk1TB/prova: Read-only file system
I'm not able to write anymore... Why nobrowse
is interfering with the writeability?
4. if I have an /etc/fstab
like this:
bozzo@host-10-25-128-252:duranti> cat /etc/fstab
#

#UUID=F842A87E-2203-4DD4-A1E3-7F63B8E8DB91 /Volumes/Disk1TB ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse 0 0
/dev/disk4s1 /Volumes/Disk1TB ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse 0 0
the disk is mounted in RO, and with the name of the Volume (i.e. under /Volumes/Elements
and not /Volumes/Disk1TB
, so using the standard OS X feature...). Same if I use the UUID.
Any idea on how to mount an ntfs drive, in the path I choose, RW, **automatically**?
