Writing on NTFS (even USB 3.0) is a bit slow, but…it is free.Updated by Tim to NTFS for Mac on June 8th, 2021 Linking /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/2015.3.14… 86 symlinks created Warning: homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g-2015.3.14 already installed, it’s just not linked You might also need to do the following (in case the NTFS disks or USB flash disks do not get mounted automatically) Sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/*/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs Sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig In case you are not allowed by the system to execute the above commands, it might be necessary to do some terminal based work to simlink the new ntfs parts (like mount_nfs) to the system commandsĬhoose utilities>terminal, then write in the terminal the command below Run the last two commands.ġ sudo /bin/cp -RfX /usr/local/opt/osxfuse/Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs /Library/Filesystems/Ģ sudo chmod +s /Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs/Support/load_osxfusefsĪfter that replace the original mount_ntfs in mac os,ġ sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.origĢ sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/ntfs-3g/*/sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs This will show some installation information. The following steps are not required by OSX El Capitan. The 2.x versions of osxfuse has a problem of not to delete the folders in /Volume, resulting in incremental number of mounted ntfs drive names. Goto osxfuse github download osxfuse 3.0.9+ dmg file.

Then install necessary packages (osxfuse, rtfs-3g)

This install the necessary Fuse for OS X and NTFS-3G packages that seem to work just fine, at least for my MacBook Pro hackintosh laptop (Sony Vaio SVS13A1S9ES).įirst you must have installed the «homebrew» package manager

You only need to download and install the package NTFS.mpg from from my Dropbox or from from Mackintosh.zone by following the instructions below or the ones at Install Xcode, Homebrew, Git, Ruby which may or may not be needed for the NTFS to work on OS X, but I am sure they are needed for other occasions.
