For a while MacFUSE worked great...all I had do to do gain writable capability was "killall Finder". But now my external still mounts as Read-only but "killall Finder" doesn't fix it.

 

I went through and did a fresh reinstall of everything and got to the following roadblock:

 

CODE

sudo ntfs-3g /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/"STORAGE" -o ping_diskarb,volname="STORAGE"

Failed to mount '/dev/disk0s1': Operation not supported

Mount is denied because NTFS is unclean. Choose one of these actions:

Boot Windows and shutdown it cleanly, or if you have a removable

device then click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows

taskbar notification area before disconnecting it.

Or

Run 'ntfsfix' on Linux unless you have Vista, then mount NTFS with

the 'force' option read-write, or with the 'ro' option read-only.

Or

Mount the NTFS volume with the 'ro' option in read-only mode.

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

This is very disheartening...when it worked it rocked.

I've tried the updated method, but can't see my drive in Finder after reboot.

What then? Should I just continue with the manual steps or?

Here's mine dmesg:

Your NTFS volumes are corrupted. Boot into Windows and run checkdisk (chkdsk) on each ov your NTFS volume (you may schedule chkdsk on restart).

Done!

OK, tried the newest packages (clean install).

 

1. installed, rebooted, volumes automount by themselves (no editing of anything) - nice

2. they are as network drives - not nice, trash doesn't work (i.e. "files will be removed immediately, OK Cancel")

3. spotlight stopped working / behaves badly

4. Causes a 10 secs shutdown/restart lag.

 

Is there a way to set which volumes I want to be mounted read only (e.g. XP partition) as opposed to the default RW (data partition)?

 

That's correct!

Thanks for all people who found this solution to make Mac can write into NTFS drives!

But I wonder, how to make the NTFS drives display like HDD drives, not the network drives?

 

I've just add this great link in to my signature.

Good job, guys!!! :lol:

That is very easy. You right click on the network drives and select "information" from the menu.

Then you do the same thing to one of your HDD drives.

 

You should have two information windows opened. Now you select the small icon at the top of the HDD drive information. Copy this icon and paste it to the small icon of the network drives information window. That's it!

I have essentially the same configuration as you. I have an ASUS P5VD1-X mobo, which has a VIA 8237R southbridge with RAID 0, 2x WD 150 GB SATAs in RAID 0 config which currently has my Windows XP partition, and a separate P-ATA Seagate 80 GB drive for Hackintosh.

 

Whenever I boot OS X, it sees the 2 SATA drives, but thinks they're unformatted and wants to know if I want to format them (NO!). So, it's seeing TWO physical drives, instead of the ONE logical RAID device.

 

I just installed this NTFS-3G/MacFUSE thing, but now all it does is try to mount the first disk as a 150 GB emtpy NTFS partition. I quickly eject it since I don't want to destroy my RAID data.

 

Any ideas?

 

Hi

 

Just wondering if I could use this to mount my ntfs sata raid (winxp drive)

JaS10.4.8 installed on seperate single PIDE

sees raid as two unreadable drives (have to eject both every startup)

but otherwise all info is correct 2 x Maxtor152.7GB 6Y16OMO SATA Ok etc.

just don't know how/if even poss. to mount as ntfs raid set, disk utility wants to reformat the entire drive!!!

 

thanks for any help, links to info etc.

Hi,

i installed (macfuse0.2.5, ntfs-3g1.417) and the automount doesn't work.

in disk utility, i click to 'mount' and in the log it logs this: 'Mount of “PORTAL” succeeded'

but the driver PORTAL isn't mounted at all!

i used the terminal mounting command resulting the same: success. How can i read the error message???

how can i fix this problem?

Hey, I got my drive to read and write, but I can only manipulate files that are already on the drive. If I try to copy a file to my NTFS drive in Finder I get an error saying I don't have permissions to write. If I use the cp command in terminal then it works.

 

Any Ideas?

 

BTW the NTFS drive has Vista installed, don't know if that has anything to do with it

I've installed:

 

NTFS-3G 1.417-r3 (Full)

MacFUSE-Core-0.3.0

I installed the packages in this order:

 

1 MacFuse Core.pkg

2 NTFS-3G.pkg

3 MacFuse Tools.pkg

And finally the work like a charm. Now, I've only the OS X volume icon for my Win XP partition (NTFS) fully read/write, no more the extra network volume icon.

 

 

I'm using Mac OS 10.4.9 in my Hackintosh, fully updated.

Hey guys,

Did U try the latest versions MacFUSE Tools: 0.3.0, NTFS-3G: 1.516 and MacFUSE-Core-0.3.0?

I tried it already but so weird , It doesn't work! My system still display NTFS, not NTFS-3G so that I can't write in NTFS HDD anymore :(

 

Anybody have the problem same mine?

 

EDIT: okie, the answer in official website of NTFS-3G:

 

NTFS-3G: 1.516 Current image is broken. Will fix tonight.

 

Now, waiting for the working version! ;)
