The latest MacFuse Core 0.1.9 release at GoogleCode appears to handle some of the issues that MacFuse Tools is also trying to solve; but each appears to do it differently.
Since the current NTFS-3g package requires MacFuse Tools to install, would installing MacFuse Core 0.1.9 and MacFuse Tools create potential conflicts? Should I wait for a new MacFuse Tools package? Unfortunately, the links to the old MacFuse Core 0.1.7 seemed to be (now) non-working if I wanted to backtrack... |

I think I screwed up. I followed the instructions to mount my Bootcamp drive in OS X using MacFUSE and all. Then I realized the latest version of parallels wouldn't let me boot up using the drive any more. So I tried to unmount it using the umount command and now I can't mount it at all using Disk Utility.
Anyone have any tips? Thanks. Edit: Upon reboot, the drive automatically remounted, but I am still stuck with the same problem of Parallels not booting the bootcamp image. If anyone has any input on this I'd be extremely grateful. Last edited by superchink : 2007-02-02 at 03:39. |

Hi
Thanks for the great work of ntfs-3g. I installed MacFuse 0.1.7 and ntfs-3g 118 in my ppc powerbook. I have an 120G USB external hard drive. Most of time I just read files from it. After installed ntfs-3g, the reading speed of the external hard drive is unbelievably slow, around 1.2MB/s ( reported by Active Monitor ). And it seems ntfs-3g took over the apple's read-only ntfs drive, became the default ntfs driver. It automount itself when my ntfs external hard drive connected to the system. I don't want to uninstall the ntfs-3g but I do want to make the apple's read-only ntfs driver back as default driver for all ntfs file system devices. So what should I do? |

ek122,
From what i have read on the recent posts, you can only do that through the shell command. there is no GUI application currently available for you to. I'm currently in the same situation except i use a 500gig ext drive and I don't always need to have it automount r/w. There are instructions in the previous posts that will help you manually make drives either ro or rw. I hope one day someone can provide a gui app that will do what you described. Much like the the features in NTFS-3G/Linux. |

I got a temporary solution for my requirement.
I poked around the source code of diskarbitrationd for a while. It seems DA generates a supported file system array from /System/Library/Filesystems. And the order in the array has a great matter of which driver goes if there are more than one driver supporting the same type of file system. Like ntfs and ntfs-3g. the good thing is the order is changable. code: sudo nano /System/Library/Filesystems/ntfs-3g.fs/Contents/Info.plist go find "FSProbeOrder"(there are 3 of them, change them all) and modify the following integer value to be anything greater than 1000( you may need to check FSProbeOrder in /System/Library/Filesystems/ntfs.fs/Contents/Info.plist, the value in ntfs-3g.fs should be bigger than the one in ntfs.fs in order to make ntfs is getting loaded instead of ntfs-3g ). Then reboot the system. done. DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP THE Info.plist BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING. And you may want to load ntfs-3g first in the future. |

First of all, let me say thak you for all of the hard work! I've got Vista on bootcamp and I can read and write to the partition, even though Apple said it couldn't be done...yet. I have searched through this thread and have not found an answer to my one minor problem, at least I don't think so (some of it was over my head). When I initially mounted the drive in terminal, it showed up on the desktop with the name I specified. However, when I reboot the name changes back to the generic disk identifier. Is there anyway to fix this without having to rename the partition each time I reboot? I've got a Vista icon attached to the Volume name Vista. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Chad. |

The auto-mounting uses the NTFS label as the volume name, so changing that should make it work correctly. Note that Windows does not set a volume name by default, so if you haven't set it manually there, the drive doesn't have one. Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

ShadowOfGED,
Thanks for the advice; I'll give it a try. What would the ntfslabel command look like (in case I have problems setting it in Vista)? I want to change the volume from disk0s3 to Vista. Thanks, again. |

So, probably just "sudo ntfslabel /dev/disk0s3 'Vista'". Hope that helps. |

Cool. I'll give ntfslabel a try to see if I can get it to work, but I did get the volume changed in Vista, and everything is "very nice!" Still want to try ntfslabel, though, just to be able to do it. Appreciate the knowledge.

Hi everybody. I've just installed MacFUSE-Core-0.1.9.dmg and I'm trying to follow chuckers instructions here: http://forums.applenova.com/showpost.php?p=432791 for compiling the ntfs-3g driver.
I'm attempting to compile ntfs-3g-0.20070207-RC1.tar and I recieve this error message about halfway through the configure script Code:
checking for pkg-config... no
*** The pkg-config script could not be found. Make sure it is
*** in your path, or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable
*** to the full path to pkg-config.
*** Or see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig to get pkg-config.
configure: error: ntfs-3g requires FUSE >= 2.6.0. Please see http://fuse.sf.net/ or install __all__ FUSE packages (e.g. fuse, fuse-utils, libfuse, libfuse2, libfuse-dev) or remove already installed __older__ FUSE. I saw a post a few pages back regarding the absence of pkg-config, so I strolled on over to freedesktop.org but the site is currently down. I checked google's cache and got the filename of the latest release ( pkg-config-0.21.tar.gz ) and did an open index search ( intitle:index.of / ) and got a copy. I compiled it the way explained in the macfuse FAQ on the google sources page and it seemingly went well, no errors, everything returned fine. Here I go attempting to compile the ntfs-3g driver and i get the same message. I've tried the binary provided on a previous page with the current version of macfuse 0.1.9 but the installer says that macfuse isn't installed (I'm guessing its staticly linked against the older version of macfuse) Can anybody provide instructions for compiling the ntfs-3g driver under darwin or a binary I'm stuck. |

I copied the pkg-config binary manually to /usr/bin and the configure went fine but once ntfs-3g was finished compiling I ran into the same problem. The binaries ( and any other needed files? ) aren't getting copied to their appropriate directories.
After I copied ntfs-3g to /usr/bin I ended up doing a Code:
sudo ./ntfs-3g /dev/disk0s4 /Volumes/Windows -o ping_diskarb,volname="Windows" and was able to mount my ntfs partition read/write.This "works" but this is not disireable. I trust the install script better than my dumb solution. Especially for reasons like this: Code:
$ ntfs-3g
/usr/bin/ntfs-3g: error: /usr/bin/.libs/ntfs-3g does not exist
This script is just a wrapper for ntfs-3g.
See the libtool documentation for more information. Can somebody set me straight?Last edited by lagshot : 2007-02-12 at 03:35. Reason: unclear |

I installed FUSE and NTFS-3G on my MacBook Pro 2.13, 2Gig running Bootcamp. Both my 40gig NTFS WinXp partition and an external 300 gig USB 2 drive show up and are writable. However I also have a 600 gig external Maxtor NTFS formatted drive plugged into the FW800 port. It is recognized on the windows side, but shows as "unmounted" in OSX using the Disk Utility. Pressing Mount doesn't help either.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to mount the fw800 NTFS volume? |

patpres, try this suggestion by ShadowOfGed:
http://forums.applenova.com/showpost...&postcount=191 Oh, yeah, it looks like MacFUSE 0.2.0 just got released. Better try it when I get back home to see if it breaks NTFS-3G or something. http://macfuse.googlecode.com/files/...Core-0.2.0.dmg lagshot, I found this page at MacFUSE page. Seems somewhat relevant, but does it help anything? http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/HOWTO |

Hey thanks for the reply wesley. I've look at this page but unfortunately it's unhelpful to my problem, I'm using the macfuse binary and don't plan on developing for it.

So is the NTFS-3G binary itself compiled correctly?
EDIT: I wonder where ShadowOfGed is... Last edited by wesley96 : 2007-02-14 at 01:47. |

Yeah, it compiled fine but neither install scripts are putting the compiled files where they belong.

But after about 30 minutes, I've got a patched version of NTFS-3G 20070207 ready. I still need to dump a lot of work in to updating my Tools, but they're not "broken," and I haven't the time right now. Here's the new NTFS-3G package:It should work, barring anything broken on NTFS-3G's side. As always, let me know what (if any) problems you have. Cheers!

Thank you and great job, ShadowOfGed! Just our of curiosity - would the NTFS-3G driver work and do automount and stuff without the Tools? I'm tempted to edit the installer so it'll skip the check on Tools and see what happens.

No, it would fail; the scripts included with NTFS-3G depend on the Tools to execute properly. The Tools won't break anything currently; the worst they'll do is slow down a mount, because MacFUSE changed the notifications it sends.

Some weird performance issues I've noticed... (wrote over at NTFS-3G forums as well)
I've seen this problem with both MacFUSE 0.1.9 + NTFS-3G 20070118 and MacFUSE 0.2.1 + NTFS-3G 20070207. The write speed to the NTFS partition is pretty slow. It seems to be around 700 to 900KB/s after several measurements when copying single file. Note that it's an external hard disk that had sustained copying speed of 15MB/s when using HFS+. Then when I attempt copying of two (or more) files, as in selecting two files in Finder and dragging them to NTFS volume, the speed drops to around 200KB/s. Then it stays there. It'll retain that speed even if I copy a single file again. I've tried unmounting / mounting, but it doesn't make any difference. I wonder what's going on? |

Many people have mentioned the problems before; part of the issues are NTFS-3G, but part of it is just a limitation of FUSE. This is true of both Linux and OS X, I would imagine. Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |
