mount NTFS partition (windows XP partition 2) on tmhcm01 hot spare hdd (9.1.1)

  •  ntfs-3g -o umask=0000 /dev/da1s2 /mnt/R1/tm01

Mount NTFS partition as system start (9.1.1)

  • nano /etc/fstab
  • insert this line at the end of file : /dev/da1s2 /mnt/R1/tm01 ntfs rw,late,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g 0 0
  • mount -uw /
  • cp /etc/fstab /conf/base/etc/fstab
  • mount -r /
  • reboot freenas to check if it works

  • systat -ifstat

 

 

To install NTFS-3G if you don't have it on, do:
# portmaster sysutils/fusefs-ntfs
 

Next, create a symbolic link from the newly-installed /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g into /usr/sbin/:
# ln -s $(which ntfs-3g) /usr/sbin/mount_ntfs-3g

Modify your /etc/rc.conf to contain:
fusefs_enable="YES"

Provided you know on which hard-disk (based on make/model/capacity of the device) your NTFS partition resides, you can figure out it’s exact device node in FreeBSD:
# egrep 'ad[0-9]|cd[0-9]|da[0-9]' /var/run/dmesg.boot

My NTFS partition resides on a 34GB IBM SCSI drive, da1s2. To confirm that /dev/da1 does indeed contain the NTFS partition, do:
# gpart show -p da1

=> 63 71096577 da1 MBR (33G)
     63 35664237 da1s1 ntfs (17G)
     35664300 35423325 da1s2 ntfs [active] (16G)
     71087625 9015 - free - (4.4M)

To mount the partition manually, do:

# ntfs-3g /dev/da1s2 /mnt/R1/tm01

Finally, add the appropriate line to /etc/fstab to have the NTFS partition mounted at the next system boot. For instance, my /etc/fstab contains:
 /dev/da1s2 /mnt/R1/tm01 ntfs rw,late,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g 0 0
