NTFS Read/Write Support Finally here!, Instructions!! Options

[ZOleg]

Has any of you guys tried to read international characters, like Japanese, Russian, etc?

Well, it doesn't work properly, unless we modify the locale setting.
For instance, since I am Italian, I should write
locale=it_IT

The problem is that in this last version of ntfs-3g, I don't know where to write this setting and how to modify it.
Does anybody know it??!?

EDIT: Never-mind, I've done it!

HOW TO?

I have installed both MacFUSE-Core-0.1.7 and NTFS-3G 20070116-r4. Rebooted. However I cannot write to my NTFS partition at all. I get this error message no matter what I try to write to it:
"The item 'xxxx' cannot be copied because there is not enough free space" even though I have around 90GB available. Also all the files on my NTFS partition have a 0kb size. Odd, I hope someone can help me out with this!
I need to mention that I am running OSX and XP on the same drive. OSX on first partition, XP on second.

HOW TO?

Example for Italian:

in Terminal, type:

CODE

echo 'it_IT' > /Volumes/MyNTFSDrive/.ntfs-locale

Of course you replace "MyNTFSDrive" with the name of your Windows HD and it_IT with the locale of your Country.

If you don't know the locale of your Country, in Terminal type

CODE

locale -a

and you'll have a list of all available locales.

That's it!

Can you clean up that first post? You mention the Terminal changes aren't necessary, but you leave them in the first post...So which is it?

Also, your "old" links are dead, I found the files I needed by browsing your iDisk, but not everyone will know to do that. Speaking of which, why am I prompted for a password? I can click Cancel a few times and then see the files, but it was a little annoying.

Edit: Now I just realized the "Click here" link is accurate...In any case, if the old instructions aren't needed, can we delete?

Isn't NTFS patented by Microsoft? Isn't this a patent infringement?

[tisi]

hey guys,

works fine here, but also i got the 0k error and have to killall Finder. But now my Diskutility and Spotlight stopped working. Any ideas?

[XanthraX]

How to solve the "Zero b" bug? Simply. Push the "Option" key (Windows flag in PC keyboards) and right click Finder icon in Dock and than click "Relaunch"

[atomizasser]

I cannot write in NTFS partition. I have followed this guide but i cannot write, only read. I can view all files and mount with ntfs-3g, but when i try to write something appears error -36.
Any1 can help me?
Thanks!

Fuse is a reverse engineered freeware now ported from Linux.
Reverse engineering is not copyright infringement, although I am certain some people would want it to be.

Reverse engineering is what gave us AMD cpus, for instance.

In Linux, Fuse can do some really neat things. Like mounting your gmail as a file system. Its not just for NTFS.

Great stuff ... A few comments:

1) Works although fussy when upgrading (need to uninstall and reinstall udpates in sequence).
2) Often need to force install of driver in terminal (otherwise shows "zero k" storage, etc...)
3) Causes slow boot to GUI and slow shut down from same.
4) Files larger than 4 GB copy fine.
5) Copy speed is approx half or a third of normal speeds (sometimes things get messed up and it runs even slower)
6) Many apps consistently "lock up" (Activity Monitor, Transmission, Finder, Quicktime), requiring "Force Quit" or restart
7) OS X runs slower, less reponsive
8) OS X 10.4.8 becomes generally unstable on my Intel Hacintosh and my Intel iMac

Good start, but I'll wait until the drivers get a little better (can't afford to trash my installs).

Cheers ...

Software patents are different from software copyrights. You don't "reverse engineer" something that's patented. Software patents are about methods, that's why they all start with "A method in which..." No matter how the code is written, even if it is completely original, it can still constitute a patent infringement. The only exception, other than explicit permission, is if the patent holder gives out a non-exclusive royalty-free license for everybody to use it, like Adobe did with its PDF format.

Thanks!

here's the solution for -36 error >> this problem caused by XP your NTFS partitions in auto-check so you need to boot XP to finish the auto-check "may be u need to boot XP twice" then every thing gonna work fine..
