I installed it, nice its working! But there is some strange behavior for some things. Well first as anyone knows, the disk shows as a network drive... But as long as it works y'know.

 

Then there's a lot of HD activity going on, repetitive, like writing for 1 sec, stops, writes 1 sec, stops... never stops doing that. I tried unmounting with Disk Utility, then mounted again and it stopped. Note that i havent rebooted yet, it will probably start doing the same thing after reboot.

 

 

Another thing, i tried to delete a file and another HD icon appeared on the desktop, the same one. It doesn't show in Disk Util. I don't care i just ignore the second drive.

 

But if somebody knows how to repair that HD "1 sec writes, stops" thing, that would be really appreciated.

 

I followed Homer007's guide: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=38920

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I followed the instructions and installed these 2 files. It worked 2 days, and even mounted the partition as r/w after reboots, without other efforts, but after these 2 days, it mounts as network drives, but read-only (Zero KB, Zero KB free in finder). Have anybody this strange behaviour? Did you find a fix for this problem? Thanks in advance :whistle:

The zero sizes are because of a "paranoid kext" http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/MACFUSE_AND_THE_FINDER

Ummm... JaS 10.4.8 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3 release... it shows my NTFS drive as a mounted disk in OS X. I can read and write to it. I didn't realize you needed FUSE for this?

 

I can't tell you if it was ever working before because I've never had an IDE NTFS drive, only SATA until now.

Not sure how a) others are able to see the NTFS drive as a normal disk, mine looks like a network share, and b ) how ethereal is able to write NTFS natively (there's gotta be something going on there).

That being said, I have access to my windows partition. Has anyone confirmed write reliability? Obviously it's a beta product, but when dealing with data i would expect taht integrity is concern #1. What about speed? What if I ran a parallels virtual disk of of my ntfs drive?

Many questions, I guess i'll get on testing out some of them myself and post some experiences.

Write seems reliable.

You can change the icon to something other than a network share.

1. Get info on the item with the icon you wish to apply to your NTFS drive.

2. Click on the icon in the top left corner, and hit command-C.

3. Get info on your NTFS drive.

4. Click on the icon in the top left corner, and hit command-V.

 

Ta da, a new icon.
