Hey, I'm new to bsd too. Here's my contribution: :) To install NTFS-3G from ports: First make sure you have the freebsd source code. Then login as root. Go to: /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs Then type: #: make install clean To use it you have to load first the kernel module by typing: #: kldload Then mount the ntfs partition using: #: ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows That's it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Caio Figueiredo Abecia" <caioabecia@yahoo.com.br> To: "Jerry McAllister" <jerrymc@msu.edu>; <williamkow@gmail.com> Cc: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 4:38 PM Subject: Re: BSDs support for NTFS read-write (using ntfs-3g) > Hi, > > This week I have tested NTFS-3G in Freebsd (pc-bsd) with success. > It's quite simple. > > I'm busy at the moment but I'll reply this e-mail more late with the > step-by-step to make NTFS-3G works if you want. > > []'s > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jerry McAllister" <jerrymc@msu.edu> > To: <williamkow@gmail.com> > Cc: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> > Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 3:32 PM > Subject: Re: BSDs support for NTFS read-write (using ntfs-3g) > > >> On Tue, Nov 27, 2007 at 05:33:24PM +0800, williamkow@gmail.com wrote: >> >>> I am newbie of FreeBSD and I have been trying to learn other O/S and I >>> have chosen OpenSUSE and using it for quite some time, would like to try >>> others, example FreeBSD, PC-BSD or DesktopBSD.
