PsychoSync Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I installed it, nice its working! But there is some strange behavior for some things. Well first as anyone knows, the disk shows as a network drive... But as long as it works y'know. Then there's a lot of HD activity going on, repetitive, like writing for 1 sec, stops, writes 1 sec, stops... never stops doing that. I tried unmounting with Disk Utility, then mounted again and it stopped. Note that i havent rebooted yet, it will probably start doing the same thing after reboot. Another thing, i tried to delete a file and another HD icon appeared on the desktop, the same one. It doesn't show in Disk Util. I don't care i just ignore the second drive. But if somebody knows how to repair that HD "1 sec writes, stops" thing, that would be really appreciated. I followed Homer007's guide: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=38920 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Yes, I have issues with large files too ( > 4gigs ), I reverted my shared disk to FAT32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanthraX Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) 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 Edited January 20, 2007 by XanthraX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtherealRemnant Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 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.

erbic Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Sticky Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) 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.

erbic Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Sentry Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Sticky Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goodtime Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder.scripts Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Are there any 'tips and tricks' to make it a bit faster? With NTFS-3G it's dead slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
