How Apple Mac reads and writes NTFS-formatted hard drives

Warm tip: This tutorial requires a senior user to enter the terminal command line to operate, please the new user cautious operation.

The specific steps are as follows:

1, open the application-utility-terminal to run the following command. To view your hard drive uuid.

Diskutil Info/volumes/macx | grep UUID

Special note: Replace Macx with the name of your hard drive

As shown in the figure, the hard drive UUID is displayed, and there is a partition UUID. What we need to use is the hard drive's UUID identification number.

2, and then run the following command:

echo "uuid=ec9ab3f7-9af6-f2ec-c4ec-f22419f32464 none NTFS Rw,auto,nobrowse" | sudo tee-a/etc/fstab

Replace the character after the command line uuid= with the hard drive uuid you obtained in the previous step, and enter the password for the account (for example, if the password is blank), create the password first. Enter password not displayed but actually entered)

3, then, when you reconnect this USB device, the desktop no longer show this USB partition of the White box icon. You need to press COMMAND-SHIFT-G to go to the/volumes file directory.

At this point your NTFS hard drive can read and write.

Explanation, OS X defaults to identifying NTFS only and if the RW is not active when it is displayed on the desktop, we have added a judgment in the system file/etc/fstab that the hard drive is connected to NTFS read-write mode, but does not appear on the desktop.
