Comment(by greg@…):
I found this article which has a script for mount-ntfs that automounts
NTFS-3g volumes on the desktop and in the Finder sidebar (with a minor
caveat):
[http://fernandoff.posterous.com/ntfs-write-support-on-osx-lion-with-ntfs-
3g-f]
It does work, as I tested it with April's NTFS-3g release. Unfortunately,
installing Fuse4x and NTFS-3g with MacPorts doesn't work as well as the
Tuxera 10-2010 release. Specifically, copying a folder from one volume to
another with the Finder only copies the folder, not the contents (not
recursive). Which makes it pretty worthless for me. Also, the finder
reports the format as "Unknown(fuse4x)" so fuse4x is not providing the
finder with the "NTFS" descriptor - is NTFS-3g providing that to fuse4x?
All free NTFS-3g solutions are incredibly slow compared to the paid
solutions.
