No need for NTFS-3g or MacFuse to make your NTFS drives working under Snow Leopard.

Just follow these steps and have the NTFS write support on all the time.

  1. Open Terminal and type the following command. What this command does it renames the default mount command for NTFS partitions.

    sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs_rw

  2. Then we create a new file using nano

    sudo nano /sbin/mount_ntfs

  3. Type the following lines into it:

    #!/bin/sh
    /sbin/mount_ntfs_rw -o rw "$@"

  4. Save the file by pressing “Control + X”, then “Y” and “Enter” for saving and exiting nano.
  5. Then you should be back to Terminal. Type the following commands.

    sudo chown root:wheel /sbin/mount_ntfs
    sudo chmod 755 /sbin/mount_ntfs

Thats it! Next time you reboot, you should have native NTFS write support.
