Let's assume that Macintosh HD is identified as disk1s1. diskutil list diskutil apfs unlockVolume disk1s1 To replace Apple's NTFS mount tool with the one provided by NTFS-3G execute the following commands in Terminal. This will back up the original mount tool to /Volumes/Macintosh HD/sbin/mount_ntfs.orig. sudo mv "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/sbin/mount_ntfs" "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/sbin/mount_ntfs.orig" sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/sbin/mount_ntfs" or why not simply : (to try) sudo mv "/sbin/mount_ntfs" "/sbin/mount_ntfs.orig" sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/mount_ntfs "/sbin/mount_ntfs" Maybe simplify with unmount/mount?
