Since there was trouble with writing to NTFS partition in Yosemite, I've installed OSXFUSE from dmg package and ntfs-3g from homebrew and it becomes writeable.īut, I've noticed, that every time, I connect the hard drive, It mounts to the new folder. OSX will normally create a directory/folder as the mount point in the /Volumes/ area for a drive. I.e the folder it created.īut in this case when I unmount my drive the system is not clearing the mount point folder it created in /volumes/įor instance here is output of listing Volumes folder: $ ls -l /Volumes/ĭ-x-x-x+ 3 root admin 102 Jan 24 12:57 FreeAgent Driveĭ-x-x-x+ 3 root admin 102 Jan 24 13:01 FreeAgent Drive 1ĭrwxrwxrwx 1 nikolaygolub staff 4096 Jan 9 01:35 FreeAgent Drive 2 When you unmount the drive, the system should also remove all references of the mount point from /volumes/. Lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 Jan 24 12:50 LV -> /Īs you can see the old mount point folders still exist and each new one increments with a number increases. Note: The device will no longer automatically open a window when you attach it.I've tried to remove all folder after disc ejecting, but it didn't help. Run the following command, changing /dev/diskXsX to your disk: export DEVICE=/dev/diskXsXĮcho UUID=`diskutil info $DEVICE | grep UUID | awk ''` To make this change permanent run the following (correct for El Capitan): Sudo mount -o rw,auto,nobrowse -t ntfs /dev/diskXsX /Volumes/Mount/ Otherwise it will result in error: mount_ntfs: /dev/diskNsN on /Volumes/Mount: Resource busy sudo umount /Volumes/ *Make sure that the device is not already mounted, if yes, please unmount it first. Type the following in the Terminal, replacing /dev/diskXsX with your disk as shown in the mount command: sudo mkdir /Volumes/Mount


It will show something like: /dev/disk3s1 on /Volumes/MyDisk (ntfs, local, noowners, nobrowse)

#Ntfs 3g for yosemite install#
Install a binary osxfuse package from Homebrew Cask: brew cask install osxfuse NTFS-3G is a driver utility that runs on all Mac computers and is available for free. If you don't have Homebrew Cask installed, type: brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask On the other hand, if you don't have Homebrew at all, download it: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL )" If you have brewed osxfuse installed, you have to uninstall it, because unsigned kexts are banned now.
