However, since the default NTFS read-only driver is already present in macOS, this introduces an additional challenge. Please file a bug about this specific case (system r/o NTFS driver blocks r/w FSKit driver) and then post that bug number back here. While the basic behavior (prioritizing KEXTs over FSKit) is reasonably justifiable and difficult to address, I think the specific issue around r/o NTFS is important (and narrow) enough that we might want to consider a special cased solution. So, the proper solution (using DiskArbitration) seems to be blocked architecturally Note that there is also a bug in DiskArb that is preventing FSKit volumes from working correctly. See this thread for more details. This leaves mount -F as the only means to mount the NTFS volume via FSKit. You might also try including -t nontfs. I haven't tried it, but I believe that would exclude the kernel NTFS driver while leaving yours as an option. However, even that doesn't work for volumes on real (non-RAM) disks due to permission iss
