how to mount ntfs on usb storage device as writeable

[alan]

mount -t ntfs -w /dev/da0s1 /media success but cannot write to it (create and copy file).

Wonder people could shed some light.

If you're just using mount_ntfs command I'm sure I've read that it's read only.
Install sysutils/fusefs-ntfs from ports to gain the read write perms.

ntfs-3g -o dmask=002,fmask=113 /dev/<partition> /mnt/<point>

successfully installed fusefs-ntfs from ports.

# ntfs-3g -o dmask=002,fmask=113 /dev/da0s1 /media gave error:
fuse: failed to open fuse device: No such file or directory

when I try to start fusefs
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fusefs start it gave error:
Starting fusefs.
link_elf: symbol msleep undefined
kldload: can't load /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko: No such file or directory

Not sure why link_elf has issue on "symbol msleep undefined". /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko does exist.

#uname -a has: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2

kldload /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko
Then mount the device

kldunload fuse.ko
To unload (after unmounting device).

[alan]

kldload /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko gave error:

link_elf: symbol msleep undefined

wonder, did that happen to you and how to get around.

rebuild fusefs-kmod fixed the problem, and now ntfs is mounted as writable!!

thanks for the direction!!
