Other NTFS

[balanga]

I've recently found that writing to NTFS partition has not worked. This may be because I'm using very excellent filesystems/automount by vermaden which automatically mounts NTFS partitions but not in RW mode AFAICS.

Can someone confirm this and tell what I need to change to enable RW. I am using ntfs-3g and when I mount manually using something like

ntfs-3g -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/da0s1 /mnt/ntfs then I get RW access.

You can set different parameters like MNT_GROUP, USER, MNT_MODE, etc.
https://github.com/vermaden/automount/, scroll the main page for all options or read the automount shell script.

ntfs-3g mount read/write by default (mount as root)

If you use it as user only need (mount as a root again ,or set the permisions to mount as user..or configure sudo/doas)

ntfs-3g -o allow_other [device] [mountpoint]

Better don't write to NTFS outside Windows. Use exFAT if you need shared volume.

It looks like there is a conf file where these things can be set. I never noticed that before.

What would I need to put in this file to get


ntfs-3g -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/da0s1 /mnt/ntfs

I do not use NTFS too much and i've just tried automount some time ago.

MNT_PREFIX='/mnt'
USER='your_user' (who is 1000?)
group='your group' (which group is 1000?)

Please launch /usr/local/sbin/automount without any argument to read the manual...

This is the config I use and automount(8) mounts NTFS with read/write permissions:

% cat /usr/local/etc/automount.conf           
  USERUMOUNT=YES
  USER=vermaden
  FM='caja --no-desktop'
  NICENAMES=YES

These are my pkg(8) packages installed for NTFS:

% pkg info -qoa | grep ntfs 
filesystems/ntfs
filesystems/ntfs-compression

Hope that helps.
