View Full Version : NTFS from command line only?

I have installed NTFS for Mac, and would like to partition/format a hard drive. But when I launch Disk Utilities, there is no option for NTFS, only "MS-DOS File System".

The command-line utility (diskutil) does have an "UFSD_NTFS" and "UFSD_COMPR" available as valid filesystems.

Should these filesystems show up in the Disk Utilities program, or is the command-line the only way to partition drives?

Thanks!
