Solved FreeBSD 11 and NTFS disks mounting trouble

Z

ZOleg

I install FreeBSD 11 and sysutils/fusefs-ntfs, but when I try mount any NTFS partition I receive this message:
Code: 
[root@zbsd /dev]# ntfs-3g /dev/ada0s1  /mnt
Error reading bootsector: Invalid argument
Failed to mount '/dev/ada0s1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/ada0s1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

[root@zbsd /dev]# file -s /dev/ada0s1
/dev/ada0s1: DOS/MBR boot sector, code offset 0x52+2, OEM-ID "NTFS  ", sectors/cluster 8, Media descriptor 0xf8, sectors/track 63, heads 255, hidden sectors 2048, dos < 4.0 BootSector (0x80), FAT (1Y bit by descriptor); NTFS, sectors/track 63, sectors 2929350655, $MFT start cluster 786432, $MFTMirror start cluster 2, bytes/RecordSegment 2^(-1*246), clusters/index block 1, serial number 0447013cb7013c29a; contains Microsoft Windows XP/VISTA bootloader BOOTMGR

What wrong?
 
Code: 
[root@zbsd /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins]# ntfs-3g -o debug /dev/ada0s1 /mnt
Error reading bootsector: Invalid argument

Yes:
Code: 
[root@zbsd ~]# fstyp /dev/ada0s1
ntfs

Why ntfs-3g don’t work with SATA HDD?

I found what the problem was - ntfs-3g does not mount disks/partitions from root, only as standard user via sudo
