Mount and use NTFS disks via CLI
Authored by: giorgiosca on Dec 11, '03 01:33:30PM
Hi
I tried to plug an internal NTFS HD with no success (I get a msg at the startup asking me to initalize or ignore the disk).

I found that the only way to have it corretly mounted on the desktop is (assuming that disk0s1 is my ntfs volume):

1) Go to /Volumes/ and create a new empty dir (i.e. NTFS_VOLUME)

2) Via terminal i wrote
sudo mount_ntfs /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/NTFS_VOLUME
providing the root password.

3) Logout and Login and the disk, named "NTFS_VOLUME", was there.

Bye
