NTFS Read/Write Broken Under El Capitan? I'm trying to enable macOS El Capitan's built in read/write support for NTFS, but it doesn't seem to be working. First of all; I'm aware it's not the fastest, and no officially supported, but my needs for it aren't critical (nor the data super important, it's just games).

Anyway, I've followed the usual guides to enabling support, and my /etc/fstab looks like:

UUID=E2E3FA2C-5B6D-4510-B4F6-E370A09B0AF6       none    ntfs    rw,auto,nobrowse


However, when attempting to mount the drive with diskutil mount disk0s9 I get the following error:

Volume on disk0s9 failed to mount
If the volume is damaged, try the "readOnly" option


If I remove the fstab entry the volume mounts just fine in read-only mode, and under Windows I can confirm that it is undamaged. It's strange as this is the exact method I've used successfully in the past (not with the same partition though).

Here's the diskutil info output for the partition:

Device Identifier:        disk0s9
Device Node:              /dev/disk0s9
Whole:                    No

In case it may be relevant; the partition was formatted natively by Windows 10.

The only suspicious thing to me is the device/media name of Windows_NTFS_Untitled_2, whereas for a Windows OS partition it is 'Basic data partition', but I'm sure that's important.

Any ideas why this isn't mounting in read/write mode? I had hoped to use built-in support to avoid having to install FUSE etc., which I assume still involves disabling system integrity protection?

Duplicate

This issue is not a duplicate as proposed; the other issue only asks how to enable read/write, however I already know how I'm supposed to be able to do it using the built-in driver, but am unable to do-so. In other words this question is asking why setting the rw option in /etc/fstab no longer appears to work (and how it can be fixed), rather than how can I get read/write support in the first place.

It is absolutely not an exact duplicate of the proposed original.
afaik (ntfs) writing is not supported in osx and macos.
use a ntfs driver, check its compatibility for your os.
