Low-cal: A elementary blueprint

No additional driver will be installed. It merely makes employ of the build-in mechanisms already provided by macOS - no strings attached.

A bit of groundwork

Occasionally I need to share files with my colleagues via USB sticks. Since nosotros are working on different platforms the sticks might be NTFS-formatted. No problem so far, there are several resource out to the web describing to accomplish this task, e.g.

I personally have called the more pragmatic way, merely open a last and result some mountain commands like:

          macbook:~ uwe$ sudo umount /Volumes/UNTITLED         macbook:~ uwe$ sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,nobrowse /dev/disk3s1 ~/ntfs-volume

However, tired of typing this over and over, I take written Mounty to reach exactly this - but in a much more convenient fashion. So, nether the hood, it happens an unmount and a remount short afterwards, followed by opening a Finder window pointing to the subconscious mount point.

Delight permit me know if this tool is also useful to you; and practise not hesitate to ask a question that might appear using Mounty.

Some questions that might come up

My NTFS disk disappears from Desktop when using Mounty

Unfortunately this is by blueprint.
Mounty is using the Apple tree kernel commuter. It allows read/write mount of NTFS drives only with the "nobrowse" choice. The mount signal becomes subconscious and disappears from Desktop and Finder menu. To brand information technology easier to re-locate the drive I accept added the "Show in Finder" selection in Mounty menu.

My USB stick will not re-mount. An alert is popping up telling me to re-attach the stick, but this doesn't help.

mounty-alert

This can happen when the USB stick is not cleanly unmounted from the Windows PC. If y'all just unplug the USB stick from PC without using the piffling tray icon to detach the hardware correctly, the book will be marked equally "non cleanly unmounted". There might be some dirty sectors left and Mac OS X will non be able to re-mount in read-write mode for that reason.

Suddenly all my files disappeared - please aid!

This is unremarkably happen when not all files are written properly due to an unmount operation not finishing. The NTFS sectionalization might be marked equally "dirty" and the Apple NTFS driver cannot recover from that situation. Mounty will not delete anything past itself, please try to restore your files on a Windows PC using usual recovery southward/w, i.e. chkdsk command line utility or professional tools like GetDataBack for Windows. If you do non own whatsoever Windows y'all can employ tools for macOS that can deal with NTFS partition maintenance, like Paraogn Harddisk Manager or Tuxera Disk Director.

Sometimes the files are grayed out and cannot exist modified anymore.

This is because the file has extended attributes, refer to the Manpage of xattr for farther explanation. If you open the file path in terminal awarding, you can list the attributes with ls -50@ <filename>, and remove those attributes with xattr -d com-apple tree.<aspect> <filename>, i.e.: xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo testfile.txt

Unable to re-mount in read/write mode when trying to mountain Windows 10 partition

If you attempt to mount a Windows System partition, Mounty might neglect when Hibernation characteristic is enabled. There is a Fast Offset feature in Windows which might exist enabled past default, and this is causing the drive to be locked. Within Windows running, you demand to run the command powercfg /hide off in an admin powershell and restart Windows to disable this feature and remove the lock to enable it for Mounty. Thanks to Art Schultz pointing that out.

Mounty volition non recognize a drive or re-mount read/write even if the drive is NTFS formatted actually

We accept seen that certain third-political party NTFS tools will re-name the book kind holding of an NTFS drive to something other than "ntfs". In this case it might happen that the macOS kernel driver ist not able to re-mount in read/write way anymore. Thanks to Giovanni for his patience to reveal this issue during a remote debug session :)

I have filed a problems report to Apple, hope that this will be solved sooner or later
as a workaround, I have switched to NSTask API only at present you need to input credentials for elevating privileges, sorry for inconvenience. Also, the mountain indicate has changed from system mount point "/Volumes" to a user-endemic hidden mountain point in user's home directory "~/.mounty" for that reason
