V Plamondon Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 My NTFS partitions have been causing me problems whereas data would occasionally disappear and leave a zero-kb size file that is not deletable. I believe the problem was created when I relabeled my NTFS partitions, and recreating the partitions and relabeling them under my Ubuntu installation seems to remedy the problem so far. Whenever possible I have taken to creating, formatting, relabeling and testing partitions under Linux (where possible), and so far, so good. I will continue to repeat the activities where I encountered this problem and update this thread with my results. I don't know if this is a problem with NTFS-3G or OS X, but if you are having similar problems, I would suggest rebooting into linux or a Live CD and testing the partitions with linux's partition tools. I have only encountered this problem with non-HFS partitions (several NTFS partitions and some Fat32 USB keys). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Plamondon Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 I don't seem to be having any more problems with NTFS and FAT partitions. I suggest anyone who is doing any NTFS partitioning to do so under linux to avoid any partition corruption problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
