Catalina Security Update 2022-003 and NTFS problem

[Elf7]

Hi,

There seems to be a problem with the latest security update and NTFS drives. It detects the drive but can't mount it, so it's useless.
I'm using Paragon, and support confirmed that there is a problem with the update. I just thought you guys should know.

Cheers!

One solution is to format drives to exFAT for now.

Does Mounty fail too? https://mounty.app

Hi guys,

if you're using Tuxera's NTFS for Mac, a temporary solution is to mount the volume manually, bypassing Disk Utility and Tuxera Disk Manager.

1. Open Terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal)
2. Create a mount-point in the /Volumes directory with the following command:
   sudo mkdir /Volumes/ntfs-disk
3. Then find out what the identifying numbers of your storage media and volume are, by using the following command:
   diskutil list
   Note the listing of your desired volume, and the corresponding disk and volume numbers in diskXsY, where X and Y are numbers:
   
4. Finally, issue a command to mount the filesystem:
   sudo /Library/Filesystems/tuxera_ntfs.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_tuxera_ntfs -o nodev -o noowners -o nosuid /dev/diskXsY /Volumes/ntfs-disk

Be sure to contact Apple's support and Tuxera to let them know that you're suffering from this issue, especially if you can't upgrade to a newer version of macOS!

Don't know, not using it.

Too bad, it's working.

I ended up just re-installing Catalina. It took less than an hour and everything is back to normal. Obviously I won't be installing the security update again.

You can find the installers here:

It is not updated, the latest is 19H1824

Sorry about that, for some reason my Catalina virtual machine was not showing the latest update in System Preferences.
Here it is after updating with the dmg https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2091

Just for clarification, Mounty is a free app that simplifies the use of the NTFS driver included by Apple in macOS.
Without the app, any NTFS drive can be remounted as writable from Terminal:
sudo umount /Volumes/UNTITLED
sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,nobrowse /dev/disk3s1 ~/ntfs-volume

Working fine for me.

Looks like Apple fixed the bug in Security Update 2022-004 Catalina!

Thanks for the info, just downloading it! Hope it doesn't break something else. ?

Don't worry, somehow there is always something else that breaks. Now file sharing is broken. ?
