Rename the original /sbin/mount_ntfs tool:
sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig
Create a script like this:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/mount_ntfs.orig -o rw "$@“
save the script to /sbin/mount_ntfs
sudo chown root:wheel /sbin/mount_ntfs
sudo chmod 755 /sbin/mount_ntfs
Enjoy R/W access to NTFS volumes...
In case you don't like it
sudo mv /sbin/mount_ntfs.orig /sbin/mount_ntfs
and everything is back to R/O.
Make sure to check that mount_ntfs is listed as -rwxr-xr-x and root wheel when you type ls -al /sbin/mount_ntfs and you're good to go.
P.S.
If it isn't working for you, it may be that the NTFS partition wasn't cleanly unmounted previously (e.g. not using safe eject in Windows). To check if this is the case, open Console in Utilities, and go to 'All Messages' instead of 'Console Messages'. Search for 'ntfs' and you may come across an error that displays like this:
NTFS-fs error (device /dev/disk3s1, pid 435): ntfs_system_inodes_get(): $LogFile is not clean. Mounting read-only. Mount in Windows.
You need to plug the disk into Windows-running system, and do a safe eject. Then the NTFS partition will mount in read/write mode.
Good luck!
