PC-BSD update: Finally got to R/W NTFS

Yay! Now that is more like it! ^_^

In my last blog entry I complained about only being able to read NTFS partitions without being able to write to them. I tried to redeem that by downloading and installing NTFS-3G which was supposed to do the job. For some reason though, that didn't work, I was doing something wrong.
Just a while ago, I've decided to give it another try, came across an article about a similar problem to mine. It turns out I was passing the wrong parameters to NTFS-3G!

What I should of been using was:
ntfs-3g /dev/adxsx /YYYY

Note you must first install NTFS-3G.

In my case for all four:
ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /NTFS1
ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s5 /NTFS2
// logical partitions start @ 5
ntfs-3g /dev/ad1s1 /NTFS3
ntfs-3g /dev/ad2s1 /NTFS4

I was using mount with options -t ntfs-3g as appose to -t ntfs which is read-only but that wasn't working. The following is what I was using and didn't work:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/adxsx /media/YYYY

So now that the issue is resolved and I can R/W NTFS. I can get back to getting more in depth with PC-BSD. Tune in for more.
