thunder.scripts Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Sorry to sound repetitive, but is it me or is this driver a bit slow? Is there a way to speed things up or do some testing? XBench won't let me test MacFuse partitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabr Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well, my Vista partition got most of its stuff wiped (winload.exe corrupt... And there are only a few folders on the partition now, yet it still says 40GB is being used??? Gonna have to reinstall at a later date). I presume it's because of this, however, I'm not 100% sure... What's weird is that I can eject my XP partition but my Vista partition now shows up as a proper HDD (meaning I can't eject it). Weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder.scripts Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Whenever OS X started mounting drives using the included NTFS driver (and of course wouldn't let me unmount them) it was because Win XP had scheduled an automatic chkdsk. Try booting windows (it will boot, execute chkdsk and reboot win again) and boot mac os x after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Enable or Disable Scandisk/Chkdsk on system reboot If you disable the automatic execution of Scandisk (Win98, ME) or Chkdsk (Win2K, XP), you should run it manually about every two weeks to maintain the integrity of your PC's file system. Windows XP Start > Run > chkntfs /x [drive] [drive] For example, if you want to disable Chkdsk from running on drive C: chkntfs /x c: Chkntfs works by modifying the BootExcecute value in the Registry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\ CONTROL\Session Manager The default value is BootExecute:REG_MULTI_SZ:autocheck autochk * Chkdsk /f /r is unaffected by chkntfs and can be run to check volumes manually on the next system reboot.

walterav Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hi anyone already made a new ntfs3g package for the 0.21macFUSE core? And is there already a compiled version of fuseFTP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ez12a Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) For those who have the 0k problem...have you tried unmounting, and then remounting the drive? Worked for me when an external drive appeared 0k. In the end I uninstalled MacFuse due to the super slow shut down times...I dont expect to see the spinning circle when i shut down. I now use an external hard drive as a liason between the two OSes (3 partitions, 70GB for HFS, 70GB for NTFS, 10 GB for FAT32 [only to be used for transfer of files from one OS to another]) ...I bet i can transfer a 4gb file faster copying the file to my hard drive first and restarting into Windows much faster than one with MacFUSE and NTFS-3g.

ksec Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I use the echo command but it doesn't work. ( For locale settings ) And then i try the mount option as well and not working either. I am using a Externall USB harddrive. Any pointers? 90% of my files cant be read due to locale settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder.scripts Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 The locale thing worked for me BUT I had to rename the files with special characters. Suppose you have a file recolección, I had to rename it to 'recoleccion' and back to 'recolección'. It would then work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuXb Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) @ cyclonefr: bon soir monsieur .

RobNyc Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 so whats better the MacFuse or NTFS-3g? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder.scripts Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Well, I'm no expert but I think that MacFuse is the Core on top of which NTFS-3g works. You need both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Dumb question: it's normal that the windows HD is mounted as a server, right? It was a little caught off guard that it didn't detect it as a physical hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder.scripts Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Yeah, that's the way MacFuse works. You can always change the icon if that makes you feel better though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder.scripts Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Ok, suddenly I started getting LOTS of kernel panics when trying to copy about 200mb in video files. What did I do? 1. Defragment the NTFS partition in Win XP 2. Upgraded MacFuse Core to 0.2.1 (DMG from http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/) 3. Reboot 4. Re installed MacFuse Tools (I did this because when I rebooted I had to manually mount my ntfs partition, I don't know if you MUST reinstall macfuse tools) 5. Upgraded NTFS-3G (DMG from http://forums.applenova.com/showthread.php...670#post443670) 6. Reboot And it worked, I could finally copy those files. Now, I don't know if what I did is right or makes any sense. I'm just telling what SEEMS to have worked for me. Good Luck! Fede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 RC1 of NTFS 3G is out, can some compile it to a new NTFS3G.pkg? http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veggieryan Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 is there any way to mount a dmg image of an NTFS disk? i need to restore this image. it was a backup made with copycatx. I am able to mount other ntfs drives with no problems. when I try to mount it i get this error: john-smiths-computer:~ johnsmith$ sudo /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /Users/johnsmith/Documents/"windows xp backup.dmg" /Volumes/windowsxp -o ping_diskarb,volname="windowsxp" Bootsector checksum failed. Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument Failed to mount '/Users/johnsmith/Documents/windows xp backup.dmg': Invalid argument The device '/Users/johnsmith/Documents/windows xp backup.dmg' doesn't have a valid NTFS. Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? john-smiths-computer:~ johnsmith$ mount ? mount: ?: unknown special file or file system. john-smiths-computer:~ johnsmith$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BebopBlues Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) After going through the install instructions using the latest files, I can now write to the NTFS drives. The weird thing is I only did to one partition, yet all other NTFS partitions are can be written too also. But all is not well, after the first initial reboot, I could open Disk Utilities, but after another reboot, now Disk Utils just crashes the Finder (color wheel of death). Is there a fix for this?
