After this, there should be a file in your file system called /var/log/ntfs-3g-debug.log. dmg) When you have turned it on, unmount and remount (or restart if it doesn't let you unmount). (script located in the "Tools" directory in the install. Now is the time to turn on debug logging. Apparently ntfs-3g.fs still doesn't like the drive. Now, after your chkdsk and clean unmount in Windows. If you're on leopard, then the drive icon will have a "stop sign" over it when that happens. It's not always working this smoothly though, sometimes ntfs-3g.fs reports that a mount is possible and then proceeds to mount but then discovers that it wasn't possible. So if ntfs-3g can't mount the drive, in theory the OS should fall back on the internal read only driver.
#Chkdsk with ntfs 3g os x driver
If the answer is false, it asks the internal driver (ntfs.fs) if it can mount the drive. OS asks the ntfs-3g.fs package if it can mount the drive. :) When a NTFS drive is connected the following happens. This "fighting" between the OS and NTFS-3G isn't taking place anywhere but in your mind. should I try to temporarily remove the NTSF.FS folder so the OS can't grab it at all ? it seems like the OS NTSF and NTSF-3G are fighting over the drive where the OS NTSD saw the drive first and placed a lock on it not allowing another driver to take over. I've also tried to manually mount the drive, and now that I know where NTFS-3G is hiding, I'll try a term mount, but I doubt it will work. I can't format the drive or unmount it because DI says another app has files open, and thats it. also note that Disk Utility sees the drive, and will do a get info on it. END QUOTE I'm the first anon poster - SteveO - AFAIK drive was unmounted ok.
#Chkdsk with ntfs 3g os x windows
Quote s this a problem with this specific release? Did the previous ones work? Are you sure the drive you're trying to use was properly unmounted in Windows via "Safe remove hardware" and that the filesystem is clean and uncorrupted? (do chkdsk) If the answer to these questions is yes, no, yes, then please enable debug logging and try to mount again, and then send me the log output. Just writing "It doesn't work, you suck." doesn't help a bit. This information is essential to solve the problem. Collect system specifications, such as OS version, processor type (Intel/PowerPC), drive type (internal/USB/FireWire) etc.Check that the NTFS drive is error free, using chkdsk.If you just "pull the plug" the drive won't mount with NTFS-3G. Check that the NTFS drive you're trying to mount has been cleanly unmounted in Windows, using "Safe remove hardware".Check if the previous version of the package works better for you.If you're having problems with this package, please do the following before reporting it: This package has been tested with OS X 10.4.11/Intel and OS X 10.5.1/Intel.
#Chkdsk with ntfs 3g os x mac os x
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4/10.5, a PowerPC or Intel computer, MacFUSE 0.4.0 or 1.1 installed (MacFUSE 1.0.0 doesn't work well with this package. There is a possibility that those reports may have had other causes like faulty hardware. The extra speed offered in the ublio build is suspected to come at a price of slight data corruption at times, but I can't confirm it as I can't reproduce it. The stable build is still the preferred download. The scripts and patches are pretty much the same as in the previous release. You can read about what's new in this release at the official NTFS-3G release page.
