What I stumbled upon is MacFUSE and the ntfs-3g driver:įirst, install the latest MacFUSE release (restart required) then get the ntfs-3g driver ( here is a binary package). Since all my external Hard drives were NTFS formatted I was looking for a possibility to write on NTFS drives under OSX (without the work-around of using Windows under Parallels or vmware).

#NTFS 3G MAC FUSE FOR MAC#

The Tuxera NTFS for Mac caching layer also eliminates the need to choose between safety (in the event of a power outage or system crash) and performance, which is a choice you'll have to make in NTFS-3G. The most important one is the new high performance caching layer which makes Tuxera NTFS at least twice as fast as cached NTFS-3G, but in many cases boosts performance even more (see: performance comparison).

#NTFS 3G MAC FUSE CODE#

Tuxera NTFS for Mac builds on the reliable NTFS-3G code base, but has several premium enhancements. Many of you have probably noticed that we now have a commercially supported counterpart to NTFS-3G, Tuxera NTFS for Mac. Using the command line utility bless (see man bless for more information).Intel users only: Install the rEFIt boot manager for better control of the boot process.Holding down the Option key during boot (or Alt for non-Apple keyboards).

#NTFS 3G MAC FUSE DRIVERS#

It seems that this issue can't be solved, but only worked around since the Startup Disk preference pane doesn't recognize file system drivers that are not provided by Apple.

Disabling or uninstalling ntfs-3g brings them back.

After installing ntfs-3g, all NTFS drives will disappear from the 'Startup Disk' preference pane.

If you are having problems with NTFS-3G, then please write a forum post explaining your problems in the Tuxera Forums (or post the question as a blog comment if you're just unsure of how things work).
