How to mount an MS-DOS or NTFS drive

Procedure: Steps to Mount a NTFS Disk

Before using a FUSE file system we need to load the fusefs(5) kernel module:
```
# kldload fusefs
```
Use sysrc(8) to load the module at startup:
```
# sysrc kld_list+=fusefs
```
Install the actual NTFS file system from packages as in the example (see Using pkg for Binary Package Management) or from ports (see Using the Ports Collection):
```
# pkg install fusefs-ntfs
```
Last we need to create a directory where the file system will be mounted:
```
# mkdir /mnt/usb
```

Suppose a USB disk is plugged in. The disk partition information can be viewed with gpart(8):

# gpart show da0
=>	  63  1953525105  da0 MBR   (932G)
	  63  1953525105    1 ntfs  (932G)

We can mount the disk using the following command:
```
# ntfs-3g /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb/
```
The disk is now ready to use.

Additionally, an entry can be added to /etc/fstab:

/dev/da0s1  /mnt/usb	ntfs mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g,noauto,rw  0 0

Now the disk can be now mounted with:

# mount /mnt/usb
