As of July 22, NTFS-3G does not work with Mac OS X Lion (10.7). Sadface. :(

iNTFS seems to work fine with Lion. So I'm using that now.

Update: iNTFS stopped working after I rebooted my Hackintosh. NTFS Mounter doesn't seem to work either. Darn, looks like I'm out of free options! I just hope that the developers update their apps soon.

Hooray, it seems that Paragon NTFS works on Lion. Too bad it's commercial-only.

What is NTFS-3G?

The NTFS-3G driver is an open source, freely available read/write NTFS driver for Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, NetBSD, OpenIndiana, QNX and Haiku. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016, Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019 NTFS file systems.

The purpose of the project is to develop, quality assurance and support a trustable, featureful and high performance solution for hardware platforms and operating systems whose users need to reliably interoperate with NTFS. Besides this practical goal, the project also aims to explore the limits of the hybrid, kernel/user space filesystem driver approach, performance, reliability and feature richness per invested effort wise.

Besides the common file system features, NTFS-3G has support for file ownership and permissions, POSIX ACLs, junction points, extended attributes and creating internally compressed files (parameter files in the directory .NTFS-3G may be required to enable them). The new compressed file formats available in Windows 10 can also be read through a plugin.

NTFS-3G for Mac requires Macfuse.
