Enable native ntfs read and write snow leopard

[cranberies]

hi everybody

 

i want to share with you an easy way to enable native read and write for ntfs partitions in snow leopard

 

i'm using 10.6.4 , this may work fine in other versions of snow

 

the method :

 

first you must get UUID for your volume

 

terminal :

 

sudo diskutil info /Volumes/volumeName/

 

copy uuid for that volume

 

ex : 12D3C416-5DAB-4A7F-86C5-BD7C34F48094

 

terminal :

 

sudo nano /etc/fstab

 

this will create an fstab file and open it

 

add line like :

 

UUID=your uuid none ntfs rw

 

save ctrl & x => y => Enter

 

reboot and enjoy

 

 

you may also want to disable auto mounting some drives

 

add line to your fstab same procedure

 

UUID=uuid for partition none ntfs rw,noauto

 

enjoy and share
