    1617This is caused by the security changes in Catalina. The system is now in a read-only file system. You can manually mount NTFS filesystems from the command line. Or, if you want to have NTFS filesystems showing up automatically in Finder (with write permission), you have to do some extra work. Besides disabling (temporarily) SIP with the command "csrutil disable", you also have to unlock the volume so you can write to it. The following link explains how to do it:

    20 I haven't tried it yet, but I would follow these instructions **only** to enable writing to the filesystem (i.e., disabling SIP, unlocking the volume, and re-enabling SIP). I would not do a symbolic link ("ln -s") as suggested there, as linking to a file outside /sbin can create a security issue. Instead, I will do what is suggested in https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/Ntfs3gFinder: You back-up /sbin/mount_ntfs and then create a new /sbin/mount_ntfs with the script provided in https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/Ntfs3gFinder.
