+ <para><acronym>NTFS</acronym> (New Technology File System) is a
+ proprietary journaling file system developed by Microsoft. It
+ has been the default file system in Microsoft &windows; for
+ many years. &os; can mount <acronym>NTFS</acronym> volumes
+ using a <acronym>FUSE</acronym> file system. These file systems
+ are implemented as user space programs which interact with the
+ &man.fusefs.5; kernel module via a well defined
+ interface.</para>

+ <title>Steps to Mount a <acronym>NTFS</acronym> Disk</title>
+
+ <step>
+ <para>Before using a <acronym>FUSE</acronym> file system we
+ need to load the &man.fusefs.5; kernel module:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>kldload fusefs</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>Add this line to <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>
+ to load the module at startup:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>kld_list="fusefs"</programlisting>
+ </step>
+
+ <step>
+ <para>Install the actual <acronym>NTFS</acronym> file system
+ from ports:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cd /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ntfs</userinput>
+&prompt.root; <userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>or from packages:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>pkg install fusefs-ntfs</userinput></screen>
+ </step>
+
+ <step>
+ <para>Last we need to create a directory where the file system
+ will be mounted:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>mkdir <replaceable>/mnt/usb</replaceable></userinput></screen>
+ </step>
+
+ <step>
+ <para>Suppose a USB disk is plugged in. The disk partition
+ information can be viewed with &man.gpart.8;:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>gpart show <replaceable>da0</replaceable></userinput>
+=> 63 1953525105 da0 MBR (932G)
+ 63 1953525105 1 ntfs (932G)</screen>
+ </step>
+
+ <step>
+ <para>We can mount the disk using the following
+ command:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ntfs-3g <replaceable>/dev/da0s1</replaceable> <replaceable>/mnt/usb/</replaceable></userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>The disk is now ready to use.</para>
+ </step>
+
+ <step>
