[crazyJAT]

So, I successfully mounted a ssh file system to my mac, but it does not show up on my desktop... The macFuse website states:

This assumes you have the MacFUSE runtime environment installed: either through the binary tarball or through compilation from scratch. For details on setting up MacFUSE, see the HOWTO page.

# Mounting the SSH file system
$ mkdir /some/mount/point # or use one that already exists
$ sshfs user@host:/some/directory /some/mount/point -oping_diskarb,volname=<volname>

<volname> should be a string you wish to use as the name of the newly mounted volume. If everything went fine, you should see the volume on your Desktop and in the Finder (unless you have disabled remote volumes from showing up in these places).

Once you are done using sshfs, you can unmount the volume either using the eject icon in the Finder or other common user-interface means of ejecting. Alternatively, you can do the following from the command line:

$ umount /some/mount/point

So, I ask, is the mounting of remote volumes on the desktop disabled by default? How do I enable it? Anyone successfully mount an ssh file system and have it show up on the desktop?

http://idisk.mac.com/shadowofged/Public/So...%2020070116.dmg

So what is new with this version ?

[avenger]

uhhmmmm...... For some reason i can't install ntfs-3g, it says it needs macfuse but i have already installed macfuse. Any suggestions?

im also getting the same error can anyone help

[JaS]

To fix this error you can mount the ntfs-3g dmg and drop the ntfs-3g install pkg into your desktop.Next click on the pkg and pick show contents and go into the contents folder.

Open the file info.plist with textedit & look for this code

CODE

<key>IFRequirementDicts</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>Level</key>
            <string>requires</string>
            <key>MessageKey</key>
            <string>macfuse_required</string>
            <key>SpecArgument</key>
            <string>/Library/Receipts/MacFUSE.pkg</string>
            <key>SpecType</key>
            <string>file</string>
            <key>TestObject</key>
            <true/>
            <key>TestOperator</key>
            <string>eq</string>
            <key>TitleKey</key>
            <string>macfuse_package</string>
        </dict>
    </array>

Remove this code from the info.plist and close textedit,saving the newly edited info.plist. Now just click on the package and install.

For those getting the error on "Mac fused not installed"

you can go to /System/Receipt (or something like this)

and You will find a:

MacFuse Core.pkg

Copy it and rename the copy to

MacFuse.pkg

Im not sure about the caps, just keep the same caps as the one with "Core", just remove the core part.

After that you will be able to install.

Just to remind, for those using NTFS volume with eastern Asian folders/files, it's better to add locale parameter, i.e.,

use
ntfs-3g /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/"Storage" -o ping_diskarb,volname="Storage",locale=zh_CN

instead of,
ntfs-3g /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/"Storage" -o ping_diskarb,volname="Storage"

Otherwise, all folders/files containing eastern Asian Language will be invisible. You may change zh_CN to real locale setting.

Hi,
It's working great on one of my drives, but not the other. When I try write, I get this error:

The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "my file" could not be read or written. (Error code -36).

Any help is much appreciated,

Peekay

[ariadri]

mickles's method is working. However, I think another method is to disable osx to automount NTFS volume as readonly before mount it using fuse.

In Terminal,

cd /etc
sudo nano fstab

add,

LABEL=NTFSxxx /private/mnt/NTFSxxx ntfs ro,noauto (replace NTFSxxx with real volume name)
^x

then,

cd /System/Library/StartupItems/Disks/
sudo nano Disks

add after "/sbin/autodiskmount -va"

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
mkdir /Volumes/Storage
ntfs-3g /dev/disk2s1 /Volumes/"Storage" -o ping_diskarb,volname="Storage"
^x

reboot

cheesecake I followd your instructions and it went well until I rebooted on the second time.
Now I sometimes get it to mount, and sometimes it won't show up at all. Its becoming like a roulette wheel. any suggestions
thanx

Okay, I tried the guide and it worked for me. Thanks. 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. Thanks!

The guys AppleNova did it again. 2 internal and 1 ext usb drive automounts on reboot. Pay attention to CheeseCake's comment about localization. The only minor mod the user has to do is change the orig. icon. No problem with upgrading from prior version anymore.

The latest versions as of this post are:

* MacFUSE 0.1.0_beta6-r3
* NTFS-3G 20070116-r4.

Nevermind, it's working now -- type-o on my part!

Another question, though:

Is it a bad idea to write to my NTFS partition (or a FAT32 partition, for that matter) using a program other than Finder ie. Bittorrent etc?

Thanks,
Peekay

[Mebster]

What's the big news people?

Does this thing allow read/write from OS X and Windows (in both directions)?

[helios]

AcePlayer> The big news is full NTFS read/write support in OSX. For support to write to OSX partitions in windows try MacDrive.

[equilibriumuk]

Cool, I might try this

Altho atm I have a FAT32 partition for cross-platform read+write. Would be nice to write to my USB hard drive which for some reason came formatted as NTFS

[Ashgotti]

works perfectly for me almost using OS X full time... I use windows at home with my dual screen setup. macdrive doesnt work for me tho.. oh well.

[redcell]

with the command:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

you can display all (hidden) files on a HFS+ parttion and see that a HFS+ partition has a file named .VolumeIcon.icns on it

I was wondering, now that NTFS has write support, I tried to write the file .VolumeIcon.icns wich every mac drive has to the NTFS partitions, in order to display a drive icon of my liking for the NTFS partitions, but somehow, these drive icons are not being displayed. does a drive icon also need something else besides .VolumeIcon.icns???
