Quote:Originally posted by xoa:Some pretty serious bugs are listed there too, which put me off from using it. How would you get around it, use the firmware drive select on boot? Also, it says the user has to remember to manually unmount everything (or add the appropriate workaround hack to the shutdown script) before doing a reboot/shutdown or there can be data corruption. If you are using said NTFS drive for Boot Camp that sounds like a pretty annoying one. Please investigate this issue if you want to help. I don't know any workaround or solution for this. Most of all:quote:After installing ntfs-3g, all NTFS drives will disappear from the "Startup Disk" preference pane. Some pretty serious bugs are listed there too, which put me off from using it. However, last time I checked the NTFS-3G still had issues with dealing with certain non-English unicode names. Usability-wise, it's similar to Paragon NTFS solution. Start using NTFS volume like HFS+ volume. Quote:Originally posted by wesley96: it like any other Mac app. Can you elaborate on this fix? Is it for a particular machine (old Mac mini G4 here)? Where can it be downloaded? Probably this is the reason of my slow speeds, who knows.In a similar way, could "ublio" NTFS-3G builds improve the writing speeds? Which leads to my following question:quote:Originally posted by szaka:You must also make sure to have Apple's USB fix to prevent bus resets from USB2 to USB1 from time to time (60 MB/s -> 1.5 MB/sec). Disk Monitor reports a red/write average of 1.4MB/s. The problem is that I cannot open/copy/delete any file containing such int'l chars nor any file inside a folder with int'l chars.2) Slow speed. However, I can actually see them properly in Finder. There were reports from having problem to display filenames with int'l chars. Since I innitially did not find any info on "ublio", I opted for the "stable".So far, the only issues I found are:1) Filenames/folders with international characters (Spanish here): An already known issue. I was wondering whether to go for "stable" or "ublio" build. HiI recently tried Macfuse + NTFS-3G combination and I can corroborate that no manual command-line fussing was needed at all: installed latest Macfuse, rebooted, installed NTFS-3G (catacombae version as mentioned in an earlier post), rebooted and voilĂ : my external 300GB USB NTFS-formatted drive was mounted and ready to use (with an icon in Desktop).quote:Originally posted by szaka:This is also available from marked as DMG installation image.
