I've done exactly as it says here (using the latest versions of both files) but... When I try to install NTFS-3g (after installing macfuse) the installer gives me the following message: "You cannot install NTFS-3g on this volume. macfuse_required" The screencapt is attached... Any ideas? TIA CU Hugo Last edited by ssurfer : 2007-01-25 at 09:50. Reason: missing information |

It's looking for the old MacFUSE package that I had put together, which is no longer relevant or available. I mentioned the forthcoming changes in this post, but forgot to mention that the current package won't work.
I'll hopefully have the new packages ready within the hour. Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

Waiting with baited breath...[/cliché]
So much for "within the hour". JK, take your time. I understand this stuff is harder than it looks. |

Alright, I know I've been building anticipation for about two days now, but this time I'm here to deliver!
There are now two packages, which are "MacFUSE Tools" (for any FUSE filesystem), and then NTFS-3G, for all of our NTFS needs. There are a variety of flavors. You can download individual disk images for each, or a "Full" one that includes both MacFUSE Tools and NTFS-3G. Here they are:
The only problem that didn't get resolved was/is the Finder fixes. For some reason, waiting on the MacFUSE notifications still doesn't fix it. I'll poke around inside the NTFS-3G code to see if I can find the cause later, but I'm not going to delay the release any further. The new MacFUSE notification listeners are working, so the hard work (aside from any NTFS-3G patching) is now done. That's it for now! I've run tests myself, and I can read, write, mount, unmount, format, and verify without trouble. The shutdown problem is fixed by the addition of fuse_daemon from MacFUSE Tools. If any other issues crop up (aside from the Finder problem), let me know! Enjoy, everybody! Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

Excellent, works flawlessly. I now have full, automounting read-write access to my Vista partition. And the fuse_daemon seems to be alleviating the really long shutdowns.
Nice work, ShadowOfGed! Last edited by ErBiC : 2007-01-25 at 21:21. |

Well is just me or this doesn't work for USB 2 External drives with NTFS partitions? I have an USB 2 external drive with 1 NTFS partition. Automount doesn't work anymore but the drive and partition shows in Disk Utility. When I select the NTFS partition and click mount the button stays down for 10 sec but nothing happens. As you can see in the images the disk shows as read/write but no mount... Any ideas??? Thanks CU |

All right, what gives? I can't see my NTFS disk in the Startup Disk prefpane. I've already performed the fix listed here, changing
Code:
<key>NTFS</key> to Code:
<key>NTFS-3g</key> but Startup Disk still refuses to see it even after a system reboot.And the disk is bootable... it contains my Windows installation. |

For that to work again, you'd need to add the .ntfs-readonly file. Alternatively, just hold down the Option key when your Mac reboots (or turns on), and it will let you select the boot volume from there. This isn't a problem with this package, it's a problem with how Startup Disk identifies bootable NTFS partitions. Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

Is there any chance your NTFS volume was not cleanly unmounted by Windows? Try mounting it from the command line and see what the output is: So... it works for me. There's no reason USB2.0 should have any effect on this working. There's probably a deeper problem. Replace the question marks with the appropriate numbers to identify your NTFS partition. To get the device, look at the "info" dialog for the NTFS partition in Disk Utility. Hope this helps. Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

I've read the entire thread and can't figure out; is there a workaround for the Finder issue and moving files to or creating new on the NTFS volumes? (I'm new to OSX, longtime MS admin). Sorry if this is basic stuff... Last edited by seaAudio : 2007-01-26 at 11:09. |

To do so, do one of these: A) In the Apple menu, pick Force Quit…, choose Finder from the window that appears, and click Relaunch. B) In Terminal, type in "killall Finder" and hit the Enter key. C) In Activity Monitor, select Finder, click Quit Process, and select Quit. Then, in Dock, click the Finder icon to launch it again. This should make Finder retrieve the proper information of the NTFS volume, and most operations should now work as expected. |

Perfect. Thanks for spelling it out to a n00b...

It's possible that fuse_daemon was trying to unmount drives (synchronously) and got hung up waiting for one that was already dead. I can change the code to do asynchronous unmounts. EDIT: Looks like asynchronous unmounts wouldn't really solve the entire problem. It'll also require lots of changes to fuse_daemon. fuse_daemon still wouldn't be able to quit until all unmounts succeed, but at least it'd be able to issue all of the unmount commands first.

I can't help fix the problem unless you give me more detailed information than that.
It works for me and other people, so there's clearly something specific to your configuration that's causing issues we can't see. I'd like to fix it, but I'm going to need a lot more information, because I can't reproduce those problems anymore. Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

Also let me know (via email) if you've used any other FUSE filesystems like SSHFS, etc. Thanks! Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

That will cause fuse_daemon to unmount all of your FUSE volumes (NTFS-3G included), regardless of whether or not Finder can see them. If this works while you're logged in, it should work during shutdown. The only reason fuse_daemon would hang after receiving SIGTERM is if you have a FUSE volume mounted that refuses to unmount. I'm going to add a little code to fuse_daemon now that might help the problem. Check back shortly for the new MacFUSE Tools. Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

And here they are:
That is, unless you manually send it SIGTERM, which my instructions above indicate, so be careful with that check. Try this new set of MacFUSE Tools and let me know how it goes. I doubt it will help, but at least the daemon is a bit more robust now. Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

Now that we have NTFS-3g more or less sorted out and working, can someone work on a pkg install for FTPFS? Or at least give some tutorial on how to properly compile it to work with MacFUSE. It doesn't seem at all optimized for Mac OS X, and keeps erroring out when I do make install.
I figure there's some extra commands to input to Terminal before doing make install, but I have absolutely NO idea what they are. |

With the new updates (macfuse 0.1.9/NTFS3g 118) I've still got very poor write speeds to an NTFS partition on an external USB drive. I used a 48mb file and moved it around a bit to test, comparing it with an NTFS partition for winxp on the same hdd as my HFS+ partition.
WinXP -> HFS+ 10s HFS+ -> WinXP 23s External -> HFS+ 37s HFS+ -> External 110s External -> WinXP 37s WinXP -> External 331s It takes about a half an hour to transfer a 700mb file to the External USB. Also if it helps, theres a delay when I try to copy something to the External drive. Finder doesn't respond for mabye 30 seconds before it starts copying.
