 i just got ntfs-3g to automount my volumes by replacing "/sbin/mount_ntfs"
 by "ntfs-3g"

 {{{
 mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig
 ln -s /opt/local/bin/ntfs-3g /sbin/mount_ntfs
 }}}

 this makes ntfs-3g automount my ntfs-volumes. but they don't show up in
 finder.

 since there is the ntfs-3g-version for mac from tuxera
 ([http://www.tuxera.com]), where the volumes show up in finder, i searched
 in their code a little bit and found this in "ntfs-3g.c":

 {{{
 #if defined(__APPLE__) || defined(__DARWIN__)
         /* If the volume has a volume name, then append the MacFUSE-
 specific
          * 'volname' option, making the volume name appear in Finder. */
         if (ctx->vol->vol_name) {
                 int i;
                 size_t vol_name_len = strlen(ctx->vol->vol_name);
                 char *scrubbed_vol_name =
                         calloc(1, sizeof(char) * (vol_name_len + 1));
                 if (scrubbed_vol_name == NULL)
                         goto err_out;

                 /* Scrub all ',' characters from the volume name since
 they
                  * would interfere with FUSE argument delimiters. */
                 for (i = 0; i < vol_name_len; ++i) {
                         char cur = ctx->vol->vol_name[i];
                         if(cur == ',')
                                 scrubbed_vol_name[i] = '_';
                         else
                                 scrubbed_vol_name[i] = cur;
                 }

                 scrubbed_vol_name[i] = '\0';

                 if (strappend(&parsed_options, ",volname="))
                         goto err_out;
                 if (strappend(&parsed_options, scrubbed_vol_name))
                         goto err_out;

                 free(scrubbed_vol_name);
         }
 #endif /* defined(__APPLE__) || defined(__DARWIN__) */
 }}}

 maybe this could be adapted by/added to the ntfs-3g macports version so
 the volumes show up in finder?

 don't know whether they use a special macfuse or the "volname"-option is
 standard.

 for reference, the latest source of tuxera ntfs-3g for mac can be found
 here: [http://sourceforge.net/projects/catacombae/files/NTFS-
 3G%20for%20Mac%20OS%20X/2010.10.2/]:

 (so there's an updated version of ntfs-3g out, too: 2010.10.2. will open
 another ticket for update)
