Mount NTFS drive with read/write mode in Mac OS
Install brew by running this command (from here with full information)
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Start the process:
- Run the this command for install
brew install homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g
. - However, this error might appear:
ntfs-3g: OsxfuseRequirement unsatisfied!
You can install with Homebrew-Cask:
brew cask install osxfuse
You can download from:
https://osxfuse.github.io/
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.
- Need install
osxfuse
first. So run the suggested command:brew cask install osxfuse
- Run the first command again in order to complete the process.
brew install homebrew/fuse/ntfs-3g
. - Run this command to identify the disk that you like to mount:
-
diskutil list
- Create a folder to mount to:
-
sudo mkdir /Volumes/Kyle_Data_NTFS
- First of all, make sure you unmount the drive which is currently in “Read-only” mode:
- Then, run the command to mount the drive:
-
sudo /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/disk2s1 /Volumes/NTFS -olocal -oallow_other
- Save the above command line and execute whenever you need to write to NTFS drive.
