Mac support? HFS

[foxeye]

I tried Paragon on Leopard and have to say ntfs-3g was more stable. I lost so much work because of unreported corrupt copying.

Really? So far so good on Leopard here. But then again, just started with Paragon, so maybe time will tell.

For me, this solution is just for converting Media Player files and not read/write/copy/edit PC NTFS files > Mac OSX.

foxeye -

Is this the utility you're refering to: NTFS-3G for Mac OS X 2010.1.16_Tuxerantfs_2010.1 ?

If so, is MacFUSE built in and is all trial version?

I've been using Paragon NTFS for over a year now. It works fine, so I even forgot that it's there.

If you're running Snow Leopard (10.6), look for NTFS Mounter by Fabien Jakimowicz. It's freeware.

I run 10.6.4 with the 64-bit kernel, so the version of MacFuse included in NTFS-3G won't work, you won't be able to even read the drive. My solution (which took me a bit to figure out but is plumb easy) was this:

NTFS-3G (current version here)

UNOFFICIAL MacFuse 64-bit (current version here)

Install NTFS-3G, reboot, install the Unofficial MF2.1.7, reboot, done. Seems to be working great! The transfer rates are decent, slow but then what do you expect via USB? I have an eSata dock, next time I copy over big files I'll try removing it from the PBO and going that route, I imagine it will be a ton faster.

Now if there was just a way to auto-delete all those annoying placeholder/preview image/whatever files that are invisible in OSX but show up in FAT/NTFS directories, it's a bit annoying to have to scroll through a folder to get to the actual video file.

Bumping this old thread, the ACRBO firmware will read HFS+. It has worked pretty well for me, except I am now finding that my PBO will routinely not mount my external USB drives (HFS+ formatted.) Otherwise it would be perfect...

I think the newest MedeBO firmware has HFS+ support too, will try that next.
