Guide: Enable Native NTFS Read/Write in Snow Leopard

I am sure many of you heard that Snow Leopard was supposed to have native read/write for NTFS partitions.
Apple supported NTFS R/W in older SL builds but I guess decided to not to go with it for some reason, however support is still present.
For this, you need to modify your /etc/fstab file to mount NTFS partitions for read and write.

1. Uninstall NTFS-3G/Paragon if installed.
   .
2. Open Terminal
   .
3. Type
   
   CODE
   diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name
   
   and copy the Volume UUID (bunch of numbers).
   Alternatively, you can get it from Disk Utility > Info
   
   
   
   .
4. Backup /etc/fstab if you have it (NOT fstab.hd), shouldn't be there in a default install.
   .
5. Type
   
   CODE
   sudo nano /etc/fstab
   
   
6. Type in
   
   CODE
   UUID=paste_the_uuid_here none ntfs rw
   
   
   .
   OR
   
   CODE
   LABEL=volume_name none ntfs rw
   
   
   .
   Repeat for other NTFS partitions on next line.
   .
7. Save the file [Ctrl+O] and [Enter/Return] then Exit [Ctrl+X]
   .
8. Reboot.

After reboot, NTFS partitions should natively have read and write support.
This works in both 32 and 64-bit kernels. Support is quite good and fast, it even recognizes file attributes such as hidden files.
