MacFUSE 0.1 Released

Some bad news:

I copied a iso image to my ntfs partition and it got damaged

Yes, I have issues with large files too ( > 4gigs ), I reverted my shared disk to FAT32.

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

update your ntfs-3g driver to the latest

it should fix it

For my problem, (see post 26) i removed the fstab line and its now working well.

+1 here

p.s. for reiserfs i use modified rfstool

Now for ext2 there is already a solution:

download the development version 1.4d4

update your ntfs-3g driver to the latest

it should fix it

TY. It is strange too (see the attachment), but works

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.

You can solve the zero-size/zero-available issue by opening Terminal and typing:

killall Finder

It's case-sensitive. Once you do this, the correct sizes should show up on the disks.

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.

IAN

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.

This is great. I just put OS X on my PC and now I don't need to worry about transferring files over from Windows!

Yeah, i'm not so concerned about the icon, the problem is that I dont normally have my network drives on my desktop (because I have a bunch of shares attached). Is there a way around that? Does everyone's actually attach as a network type device?

I haven't kept up with this since it first came out, but it worked great for a day and now it says zero [k] free. I tried updating it about a month ago and it still doesn't work right.

Goodtime

Are there any 'tips and tricks' to make it a bit faster? With NTFS-3G it's dead slow
