That's just what I needed - I tried looking for a port and couldn't find it. I just compiled it, but it said... ================================================================ *** Error code 70 Stop. make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs ================================================================ I'd tried using sysutils/ntfsprogs earlier (amongst a LOT of other things) and it looks like they're not friends. I *did* try to find the ntfs-3g port - should have guessed it was actually called fusefs-ntfs. For anyone else looking for the solution, DON'T install sysutils/ntfsprogs (or if you do, "make deinstall"), and do build sysutils/fusefs-ntfs. Then don't kid yourself that mount_ntfs is going to work :-) What does work is: Add 'fusefs_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf Add 'fuse_load=YES' to /boot/loader.conf Reboot and then mount your USB NTFS volume thus: ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /mnt Obviously altering da0s1 to suit. I'm not 100% sure that the lines in rc.conf and loader.conf are necessary but the machine's busy and I can't reboot it to find out. I shall document this at some point, when I've figured out how to get it to work the old way - i.e. mount_ntfs - but I'm posting this here in case anyone else has having the same trouble. Incidentally, mount -t ntfs-3g... doesn't do it. Regards, Frank.
