--- Comment #3 from rkoberman at gmail.com ---
This is probably not an issue with HAL, ugly as HAL is. This is most likely
fall-out of the removal of the old almost read-only implementation in the base
system.

In v9, the mount command attempt to mount NTFS file systems by calling the
mount_ntfs(8) command. A script was provided on the gnome web page to replace
mount_ntfs. It would translate the mount_ntfs command to ntfs-3g syntax and
then exec ntfs-3g. The hooks in mount(8) to call mount_ntfs(8) were removed,
breaking the ability to use the standard mount(8) command to mount the ntfs
volume using the fuse-based ntfs-3g command. 

It looks like automount in 10.2 can work with devd to handle this. See section
17.4 of the FreeBSD Handbook. This assumes that you are talking about a
removable device. Of course, the traditional /etc/fstab can be used for fixed
ntfs file systems.
