NTFS for MAC error

Now Paragon has replied too (support email). Looks like they will not provide an update, and will instead wait for Apple to fix it in a next macOS update....

After the latest macOS 10.15.7 Catalina Security Update 2022-003 (19H1824),

issues have been reported with mounting NTFS volumes using the NTFS for

Mac driver. The Development team were able to reproduce and confirm the

issue. We expect it to be fixed in the next macOS updates.

For now, the following workaround can be tried:

1) Make sure you're using Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software build 15.9.314

It can be downloaded from the ParagonBox user portal if you have a license registered there or directly from the site:

https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/

Be sure to uninstall any previous versions as described below:

2) Connect the drive containing the NTFS partition, and make sure the partition is not mounted.

3) Open the Terminal utility  (Application -> Utilities -> Terminal) and perform the following command to create a mountpoint:

sudo mkdir /Volumes/ntfs

4) Run the following command:

diskutil list

and note the NTFS partition (disk0s3, for instance)

5) Run the following command to mount it:

sudo /Library/Filesystems/ufsd_NTFS.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_ufsd_NTFS 
/dev/diskXsY /Volumes/ntfs

where diskXsY - the NTFS partition from the previous step

(for instance)

sudo /Library/Filesystems/ufsd_NTFS.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_ufsd_NTFS 
/dev/disk0s3 /Volumes/ntfs
