Hey,
I'm new to bsd too.
Here's my contribution: :)
To install NTFS-3G from ports:
First make sure you have the freebsd source code.
Then login as root.
Go to: /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs
Then type:
#: make install clean
To use it you have to load first the kernel module by typing:
#: kldload
Then mount the ntfs partition using:
#: ntfs-3g /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/windows
That's it.

Hi,
This week I have tested NTFS-3G in Freebsd (pc-bsd) with success.
It's quite simple.
I'm busy at the moment but I'll reply this e-mail more late with the
step-by-step to make NTFS-3G works if you want.

some reading and found out that the read-only support for NTFS
partition, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BSD_operating_systems (at
the "Technical Information" section)
However, the NTFS partition is still important for me with read/write
access by any new O/S, due to my main storage of my data files are in
NTFS partition (external harddisk) that will then be connected to other
computer (Microsoft Windows). Could you please advise me whether the
ntfs-3g command can be (ported) used in BSDs for read-write access to
NTFS. Thank you.
Someone on the list claimed good success just yesterday or the day
before.
Check in the questions archive. So far, I have only used NTFS in
read only on FreeBSD, but if the ntfs-3g works it could be just what
you want.
