Yes, now I'm using the ntfs-3g driver.
Here is how I did it (as long as I remember):
1) Install package fusefs-ntfs
2) Add to rc.conf:
Code:
fusefs_enable="YES"
AND/OR do it on the fly:
Code:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/fusefs start
3) Using ntfs-3g you can mount filesystems only with the mount_ntfs-3g command, which appears to not be working with fstab. That's why a little patch must be applied to the mount program. Here is the patch.
4) Change NTFS entries in /etc/fstab from ntfs to ntfs-3g, like that:
Code:
/dev/ad0s5              /mnt/ntfs       ntfs rw              0       0
becomes:
Code:
/dev/ad0s5              /mnt/ntfs       ntfs-3g rw              0       0
Voila.
