glitchbit Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I originally posted this in another category (it probably should have been posted here, sorry) Any ideas? 10.5 likes to put "-n" in front of my volume name. I think this is messing up the NTFS-3g driver. It mounts but I cannot access the mounted drive via the Finder. I have not tried browsing it though via Terminal. I am not the only person that has -n put in front of my volume name, I read about someone else at another site that has the same issue. No one here has posted anything about NTFS-3g and leopard that I can find. I have done this before successfully in the past on a laptop of mine. MacFuse and NTFS-3g are installed, I have also installed MacFuse Tools on later attempts.

glitchbit Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 ..atleast I know there aren't just all 2 of us... now there is 3 and I imagine as it officially gets released the number will balloon unless there is a fix released soon by 3rd parties or Apple. At any rate I have found no way of converting NTFS to HFS+ or NTFS->FAT32 to HFS+ without wiping everything out. So I have two choices screw around with transfering 750gbs worth of data (which I can't do because I don't have that much empty on anything) or order a new hard drive... I think I will order a new hard drive. Even though I really don't have the money, I just don't seem to have any other choice. Also I imagine the read performance, not to mention the write performance probably sucks with NTFS on Mac. Also I don't trust FAT32 any more, seen it corrupt too many times. However with XP being able to read and write HFS+ so easily these days I am fine with that.

cringemaster Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 If you are an ADC member, report this as a bug. If youre not, then there isnt much anyone can do. Thats the risk you take in running a beta OS.
