I recommend MacFUSE Core 0.4 + MacFUSE Tools 0.2.5 + NTFS-3G 1.417. (v1.516 seems to have some problems)

 

MacFUSE Core 0.3.0: http://rapidshare.com/files/35286494/MacFUSE-Core-0.3.0.dmg

 

MacFUSE Core 0.4.0: http://rapidshare.com/files/36161727/MacFUSE-Core-0.4.0.dmg

 

NTFS-3G 1.417: http://rapidshare.com/files/35286395/NTFS-3G_1.417.dmg

 

MacFUSE Tools 0.2.5: http://rapidshare.com/files/35286435/MacFUSE_Tools_0.2.5.dmg

 

MacFUSE Tools 0.2.5 + NTFS-3G 1.417: http://rapidshare.com/files/34558180/NTFS-3G_1.417_Full_.dmg

 

NTFS-3G 1.516: http://rapidshare.com/files/35286307/NTFS-3G-1.516.dmg

What's the final verdict on this? Which downloads are absolutely the best recommendation as I see we have a few different opinions. Is there any way to find a simple installer that makes this work without compiling? In other words, can somebody make this Mac-simple instead of Linux-geeky? I just want to USE the computer, not reprogram it.

Sure thing. For such a purpose I have collected all the stuff into one archive. Install all inside it and you are done! :star_smile:

 

Latest releases of the driver (installation consists of two steps - 1. Install macFuse Core and Tools, 2. Install NTFS-3G) are: MacFuse Core 0.4.0; NTFS-3G 1.516.

NB for all driver users: USE THE LATEST RELEASE! (see abobe). It has MANY bug fixes, uninstaller and so.on.

Just a note. I accessed an NTFS drive, and OS X wrote a .DS_Store file (like it does). This frightened Windows, which said the file was corrupt. Perhaps we should set permissions that OS X can't write to the drive (eg. chmod 555 /volumes/ntfsdrive) etc.

 

The goal of this driver is to give Mac OS X the full (read/write) access to NTFS drive/partition.

If you do not need it, uninstall the driver and Mac OS X shall access NTFS drive as read-only (as it does by default).

Are there any improvements having NTFS for OSx? OR is this only to be able to share with windows etc.? I think my XP is able to read Fat32 HD (which osx uses right)

 

So basically, what are the benefits? I want to use NTFS, but if osx works just as well on a Fat32, then i will skip it :)

Has the SIGTERM error been fixed?

 

Read his FAQ: http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/

 

"Problem: NTFS-3G doesn't react properly to SIGTERM and thus slows down shutdown of the computer!

Possible cause: There is something that I don't understand with how NTFS-3G reacts in these situations. shadowofged, who provided the previous hazzle free package for NTFS-3G, solved the problem (or tried to... I'm not sure if it really worked on my computer) by installing a daemon listening to SIGTERM, and when activated automatically unmounted all MacFUSE file systems. This daemon isn't released as open source software, but I might rewrite it in the future as open source code, if the problem gets too annoying."
