+ <para><acronym>NTFS</acronym> (New Technology File System) is a
+ proprietary journaling file system developed by Microsoft. It
+ has become the default file system in Microsoft &windows; for
+ many years. &os; can mount NTFS volumes using a &man.fusefs.5;
+ 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 NTFS Disk</title>
+
+ <step>
+ <para>Prior to use a fuse 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>/boot/loader.conf</filename>
+ to load the module at startup:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>fuse_load="YES"</programlisting>
+ </step>
+
+ <step>
+ <para>Install the actual NTFS 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.user; <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>

+ <para>We can mount the disk using the following
