Hello I have installed the newest versions of MacFuse (0.4.0) and ntfs-3g(1.913) and have an external HDD with NTFS connected via USB.
I have unmounted it as was said in the ntfs-3g readme and then typed the following in Terminal:

kalin-trifonovs-computer:~ kalintri$ mkdir /Volumes/ntfs
kalin-trifonovs-computer:~ kalintri$ ntfs-3g /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/ntfs -ovolname="Windows Disk"
-bash: ntfs-3g: command not found

As you can see it doesn't work. Since I have just switched to Mac recently I have no idea whatsoever what is wrong and how to fix it.
When I was installing MacFuse and NTFS-3g both installations went smooth and without any visible problems and I have restarted my computer after each installation.

Please help.
Thanks

the file ntfs-3g is located on:
/usr/local/bin/

You can verify it with:

and you will get a /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g

So try:


I'm using MacPorts so i have a .profile file on my home directory.
Here are my path:



So I can simply use the command "ntfs-3g" without typing the full path.

More info for setting the path:

Thank you for the info.
EDIT: I solved that.
I did find the path you said and tried, but there was another problem. Here is what I get:

kalin-trifonovs-computer:~ kalintri$ /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/ntfs -ovolname="Windows Disk"
$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
Failed to mount '/dev/disk1s1': Operation not supported
Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action:

Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by
clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows
taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly.

Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for
your own responsibility. For example type on the command line:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/ntfs -o force

Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file:

/dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/ntfs ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0

I have a bootcamp and a parallels windows, but none of them was running.
I also tried the force mount option but I get:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/ntfs -o force
usage: mount [-dfruvw] [-o options] [-t ufs | external_type] special node
mount [-adfruvw] [-t ufs | external_type]
mount [-dfruvw] special | node

And I am don't know how to find or change this etc/fstab file.
Please help again.
Thank you

OK. I managed to get over this message. It was the fault of Parallels and the way it switches control over the USB HDD between it and the MAC OSX.

Now I am restarting to see if after that it will mount by itself. If it doesn't mount by itself, please let me know how can I do It.
Thanks
