Mounting ntfs filesystem

[scrat]

What ports do I need to mount ntfs filesystems?

I have built sysutils/ntfsprogs and sysutils/fusefs-ntfs

I installed sysutils/fusefs-ntfs

When I installed sysutils/ntfsprogs it removed sysutils/fusefs-ntfs.

All the information I can find on the web tells me I need both.

Also mount_ntfs seems to be miising as it was not installed by either port.

Thanks

fusefs-ntfs
kldload fuse

You'll need to install fusefs-ntfs.

As far as I know, you don't need both. From ntfsprogs, you
can use several tools to deal with NTFS partitions, but in
order to mount them, you'll need FUSE and the fusefs-ntfs
"plug-in". You also need to "kldload fuse" (/boot/loader.conf
is very convenient to do this - the kernel module is provided
by the OS), and then you can issue the mount command, for example:

# ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /mnt

The FUSE NTFS mount is more functional than the classic mount_ntfs
which was more or less a "read-only mounter".

This program has been part of the base system. It's no longer
installed as the NTFS functionality has been moved to FUSE.

I have had a long-standing problem with fuse ntfs where adding or
deleting files updates the timestamps on other files in same directory.
There is a bug report I think.
