mount only calls a couple of file systems in the old fashioned way. One of 
them is ntfs. What I did to be able to mount NTFS systems with mount -t 
(obligatory if you want to use fstab to mount), I did the following:


# mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.bak
# ln -s /usr/sbin/mount_ntfs-3g /sbin/mount_ntfs

This is one of my /etc/fstab entries
/dev/ntfs/2vault  /mnt/vault  ntfs  rw,late,gid=5,umask=113,dmask=002  0  0



Cool! This is exactly what I was looking for. Since mount_ntfs-3g was
installed, I assumed that it would work with nmount, but I guess not.

Thanks very much! I think that this will solve all of my ntfs issues for
a while.


I have a fix now that I like better: 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=120784


You can apply it in the following way:

# cd /usr/src
# fetch -o mount.patch \
'http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?prp=120784-1-diffn=/patch-1.diff'
# patch  mount.patch
# cd sbin/mount
# make all install clean

try using the ntfs-3g command directly:

ntfs-3g   /dev/ad0s1/C

Just remember that you have to recreate the link after you do an installworld.

Yes. I already have to do this for other modified stuff. (I install a
new world about every other week.)
