MacOS – NTFS-3G partition name contains increasing number

macosmountntfs

When using NTFS-3G using OSXFuse installed via Homebrew, my Windows drives are mounted but contain a number that is increased every time the volume is mounted:

enter image description here

These numbers don't seem to be limited. I have to regularly delete all the unused mount points. I'm assuming this problem could also occur because of insufficient permissions for some process, but I'm not sure for which or how to verify this.

/Volumes/ has the permissions 777 and owner root:admin.

The annoying effect of the changing mount point is that I cannot make links to a particular path on the Windows drive. At the next restart it will have changed…

Using OSXFUSE with version 2.7 on the Mavericks this working.

Since I can not post more than 2 links, read a tutorial I posted and solved my problem in this link!
