I've had a few problems with FUSE but I have whittled it down to this last error:

The goal here is to make it unnecessary to use the command line to access NTFS-3G. The latest versions are MacFUSE 0.1.0_beta6-r3 and NTFS-3G 20070116-r4. The links are above. You'll have to restart your computer after installing the new NTFS-3G for the first time, but from then on automatic mounting should work. It's been working for me, and for a few others. If these new packages give you trouble, please let me know. The download links are listed a few posts up, so find 'em there... Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

OK I tried the new packages. I get the mount automatically, but it says 0KB avail.

Is there a way for me the actual transfer speeds. right now i'm copying a file and it seems a bit slow. When the file was formated as FAT32 the transfer took 15 min. Now its taking about 4 hours. Is ther a way to speed the transfer speeds up.

The locale of an NTFS volume is UTF-8. File names that don't show up properly are a bug on Windows's side.

NTFS-3G isn't optimized yet, and there's virtually nothing we can do in that area but wait. |

Yeah... I was reading the NTFS-3G FAQ about it, and it sounds like they have to convert *to* UTF-8 from whatever is stored on the filesystem. I dunno... the .ntfslocale hack should be a stop-gap solution.

I need some help. I installed the latest versions of macfuse and ntfs-3g from this forum and was delighted to see my vista ntfs drive (macbook pro with 3 partitions osx, hfsdata and ntfsvista) mount r/w. I tested to see if it works by deleting a temp file and everything was fine.
Now when i reboot into vista (i use refit for the dual booting) it starts loading vista and then crashes (i cant see the bluescreen error message because it reboots too fast). I tried booting in safe mode - and it crashes after it loads the file crcdisk.sys. From what i learned crcdisk.sys is a Disk Block Verification Filter Driver. I figured I might be able to fix this by booting into the vista install dvd to perform a repair - but when i boot from it the dvd doesn't even recognize the partition to be ntfs formatted. This is strange because osx still sees it as ntfs and i can see and access all the files on it from within OSX. So I have a couple of questions: 1) What could I try to fix this problem? Could macfuse or ntfs-3g have done something to the partition to make it unreadable by windows? 2) What is the method to completely remove macfuse and ntfs-3g (especially if i installed using the pkg installers)? Greatly appreciate any help! |

i have 3 ntfs partitions on 3 hdds, 2 of them are 1st partition and 1 is second. If i start w/o .ntfslocale on partitions - all of them mounted automatically, but when i start with .ntfslocale on partitions - only partitions that are 1st on hdd mount automatically, the partition that is 2nd on hdd not mounts and i need to mount it by hands |

Hello I'm new here. I was able to get read and write working on my windows ntfs partition. The only problem now is that whenever I boot up I get a flashing globe/world icon for 30-45 seconds and then I get the apple icon and then my computer loads. Then when I shut down when it gets to the blue screen right before it shuts down I get the black loading circle for 30-45 seconds and then finally turns off. Does anyone know whats causing the problem and can help me? I'm confused as what I'm suppose to do to fix this. If someone can help me It would be very appreciated. I don't like how it takes forever to boot up and shut down. Anyway thanks!

Thanks Chucker! Now do you know how to fix the shut down problem I'm having? It takes extra time to shut down. I get the black loading circle over the blue screen for about 30-45 seconds before actually turning off. Does anyone else have this problem?

Sounds unrelated. Clear caches?

Thanks for compiling those packages gang! Very much appreciated! I'm up and running with my NTFS volumes (auto-mounted, full read-writable).
However, it seems I lost the ability to boot back into XP with Boot Camp. The XP volume is no longer available in the OS X Startup Disk control panel after installing MacFuse. The XP volume is still viewable in Finder/Disk Utility. For what it's worth, I am able to rerun the Boot Camp install, insert the XP CD, which actually boots me back into my XP partition. I can't say for sure that MacFuse is the cause, but I've been able to boot back and forth normally ever since installing BootCamp. Any suggestions? Thanks again for your efforts with a easy ntfs-3g install! Blue |

Hi,
I've been eying this thread since post 5 and wanted to say thanks for making it easier by compiling the latest builds. I just wanted to post feedbacks on a few issues with ext USB drives. I don't know if they pertain to MacFuse or NTFS-3G and whether or not they are still a limitation to the development. I'm basing these results against Fuse and NTFS-3G for Linux, which is VERY stable. 1. When writing to ext drive, Finder crashes. I can reproduce the crash and post the log if needed. 2. Writing to ext USB drive is very slow. A single file over 600mb takes more than 20 minutes to complete. 3. Moving files from internal NTFS root to sub dirs and vice versa is very slow. I will also post this on the dev site and see if I can get clarification on my issues. I just wanted to post my results on the latest builds. |

I'll post the crash logs when I get back to the house. Thanks for posting the Goup link, I don't know how i missed that link on the dev site. Additionally, there is an " Impending 0.1.0b007 release" scheduled. Looking forward to that one .
In the mean time, is there any way possible to disable NTFS-3G from mounting external USB drives? I really hope there is such an option to which drives i want to mount using NTFS-3G and which I want as read only, because I hot swap many drives. |

If you could place an empty file named '.ntfsreadonly' in the root directory of any partition you want mounted as read-only, and then edit /System/Library/Filesystems/ntfs-3g.fs/ntfs-3g.util to replace its Probe () function as follows: Code:
function Probe ()
{
# Throw away the -p or -P argument that got us here
case "$1" in
-p|-P)
shift
;;
*)
;;
esac
# Get the device and further info
DEVICE=`GetDevice "$1"`
CLEAN=`/usr/local/bin/ntfsinfo -m "${DEVICE}" 2>&1 | grep 'Volume Information' | wc -l`
LABEL=`/usr/local/sbin/ntfslabel -n "${DEVICE}"`
CODE=$?
if [ ${CODE} -ne 0 -o ${CLEAN} -ne 1 ]; then
# Either the label lookup failed, or the volume is dirty
# So fail to mount
return -2 # FSUR_UNRECOGNIZED
else
# The volume is clean and we have a label
READONLY=`/usr/local/bin/ntfsls -aq "${DEVICE}" 2>&1 | grep '.ntfsreadonly' | wc -l`
if [ ${READONLY} -eq 1 ]; then
# The user requested to use Apple's read-only NTFS implementation
return -2 # FSUR_UNRECOGNIZED
else
echo -n "${LABEL}" # Print label
return -1 # FSUR_RECOGNIZED
fi
fi
return 1
} That might do the trick. However, I haven't tested this at all. |

Thanks chucker. Unfortunately, I'm not able to try ut myself since i'm stuck on a linux server atm. I will give feedback when I'm able to do so.
regards edit: I had a hell of a time adding .ntfsreadonly file to ntfs partition. Under Tiger, it always errors with "only reserved for system file". Nano didn't help either. I had to mount the ext drive to a Windows machine and create the file with winrar since creating any file starting with "." isn't supported in Windows. The method works, however, there are some anomalies. The first is that all drive mounted with ntfs-3g doesn't tell me how much space I have left (zero capacity) anymore, and the first minute of boot, copying any file to an ntfs-3g file system will say "not enough disk space" even though i have 10gig available. greets!
