A little search got me to http://forum.ntfs-3g.org/viewtopic.php?t=292 where a solution is posted. It seems that using /etc/fstab to mount the NTFS partition at boot time is not working since the mount command is being executed before the 'fuse' kernel module is loaded. However, on my 6.2-RELEASE machine, I see the following message when booting: ---------- Starting file system checks: /dev/ad0s2a: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/ad0s2d: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS Mounting local file systems:mount: exec mount_ntfs-3g not found in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory . . . Starting fusefs. fude4bsd: version 0.3.0, FUSE ABI 7.8 . . . Mounting late file systems:mount: exec mount_ntfs-3g not found in /sbin:/usr/sbin: No such file or directory ---------- I'm assuming that this "late" mount (the last line above) is being done after loading the 'fuse' kernel module, so the OS should be able to mount the file system now, but it can't! It's looking for mount_ntfs-3g and that file does not exist. My /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g rw 0 0 I also used the /etc/fstab entry suggested in NTFS-3G's own website ( http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ - scroll down to the end of the page), where "defaults" is being used instead of "rw", but that gave me this error: ---------- swapon: adding /dev/ad0s2b as swap device fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format Starting file system checks: /dev/ad0s2a: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format /dev/ad0s2d: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS Mounting local file systems:fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format Mounting NFS file systems:fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format fstab: /etc/fstab:6: Inappropriate file type or format . . .

Thanks a lot
