(Auto-) mounting NTFS drives

[Vermilion]

Hello,

I looked at the installed packages, the NTFS-3g package is installed on my system.

But when I plug in a NTFS formatted drive, I got an error message on mate desktop:

Code: Select all

mount: illegal option -- m usage: mount [-t fstype] [-o options] target_fs mount_point

. I also ensured, the following codes are added to the correct config files:

Code: Select all

fuse_load="YES" 
vfs.usermount=1

My question: Is there a way to (auto-) mount it through the mate file manager or is the only way to do so via command line (as root)?

Regards Verm

Hello Vermilion,

I tried also to auto mounting NTFS. I followed different advises also from FreeBSD. But up to now I mount with this way:
1. check with

Code: Select all

gpart show

the partition and
2. than mount with

Code: Select all

#ntfs-3g /dev/da5s1 /mnt

da5 is my usb device and s1 my partition.

Hi all!
This is my first post here, so welcome everyone!
I would be interested to know how Eric solved this! Is there a gui utility to do this!? Or how can I format a usb stick in freebsd or ghostbsd format.

FreeBSD has automount options / configs as well. As well as for formatting drives, I suggestbthe FreeBSD handbook.

Wow having all these options in only one FreeBSD, this is very good to know.
