Cannot edit /etc/fstab to let NTFS drives write I have Mac Os X 10.9 Mavericks. I want to write to NTFS drives. I followed the instructions here.

The following command was not allowed to run:

$ sudo echo "UUID=7575C85E-F6F7-4ABD-B7FB-6180B795DD81 none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse" &gt;&gt; /etc/fstab
-bash: /etc/fstab: Permission denied


What should I do to edit /etc/fstab?
You need sudo to perform the write to /etc/fstab and not the echo. Try:

echo "xyz" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab &gt; /dev/null


I added the &gt; /dev/null to suppress the echoing of the long UUID (which I abbreviated "xyz" for clarity's sake). You can skip the &gt; /dev/null part and it will function the same as the command you listed.

echo "UUID=7575C85E-F6F7-4ABD-B7FB-6180B795DD81 none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
