Mounting NTFS under FreeBSD

The ntfs-3g driver is an open source, freely available read/write NTFS driver, which provides safe and fast handling of the NTFS filesystem.

To install the port

# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs/ && make install clean

To add the package

# pkg_add -r fusefs-ntfs

Loading the Fuse.ko module
I prefer to put the modules in /boot/modules to be loaded easily

# cp /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko /boot/modules/
# echo 'fuse_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
# kldload fuse

Mounting the NFS hard drive

# mount_ntfs-3g /dev/ad4s5 /mnt/win_f
