Hi Gary, here are my notes from the last time I had to do the same (fwiw it was probably a 16GB device)

1. Install fusefs-ntfs

2. Load fuse kernel module  

% sudo kldload fuse 

(may wish to add fuse_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf to load at boot) 

3. Mount drive (read-only here, uncertain if writing to NTFS is as confident as on Linux)

% sudo ntfs-3g /dev/da4s1 /mnt 

4. Unmount drive 

% sudo umount /mnt 


My notes aren't clear if default mounting is read-only, only that adding option "-o ro" formally specifies read-only, executing "% ntgs-3g" will list the options, and there's "man ntfgs-3g" for more information.


Good luck!

Dale
