The only problem with that is that I’ve been using ‘ntfs’ in my fstabs rather than ‘ntfs-3g’, while a check of /proc/filesystems doesn’t show any listing for ntfs.Ĭan anyone shed some light on what the precise difference in semantics (if there is any) is between ‘ntfs’ and ‘ntfs-3g’? Is it safe to assume that if mount sees ‘ntfs’ it will search for a driver which supports that type of filesystem and find the ntfs-3g driver if it’s installed?ĮDIT: I forgot to add that ‘ntfs’ has worked whenever I’ve used it - I was simply curious as to the answer, and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something iffy. From some searching around it seems to be the case that ‘ntfs’ (without the -3g part) typically refers to a kernel driver, rather than the ntfs-3g userland driver. It seems that most websites tell you to use ‘ntfs-3g’, which is a FUSE driver for NTFS under linux. My question is basically which is best to use in which contexts. My Linux distribution is Xubuntu I suppose the answer may well vary between distros. You can also make NTFS to be mounted during boot by putting the below line at the END () of the /etc/fstab file: /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 TESTING WITHOUT INSTALLING Newer versions of ntfs-3g can be tested without installing anything and without disturbing an existing installation. Then you could use the drive on both computers with no need for a separate driver to read/write.I have a question about the difference between ‘ntfs’ and ‘ntfs-3g’ in the filesystem type field in the /etc/fstab file. Or, if you're sharing the drive between your Mac and a Windows 7 computer, you could reformat the drive as ExFAT. I guess it might depend upon the version of. Some distros have started treating them as one and the same, but as of about a year ago, using ntfs in fstab in Ubuntu would result in the file system not being writeable. The ntfs-3g is the newer FUSE driver (as you mention) and will mount the partitions as read-write is you use it in NTFS. If you use ntfs in your fstab it will attempt to use that kernel driver, and mount your NTFS as read only. And then only because I've used the free version they fund and had no issues with it, so I would imagine their paid version would work just as well. The traditional NTFS kernel driver is read only. I have no experience with either, so my recommendation would be the pricier Tuxera software. So if it's yes, then you'll have no choice but to purchase one of the commercial items.

No means you're currently running the 32 bit kernel. On the right, check the "64-bit Kernel and Extensions" state. In the left column of the System Profiler, click on the Software heading. A directory is marked for compression by setting the bit 11 (value 0x00000800) in its Windows attribute. This option enables creating new transparently compressed files in directories marked for compression. The top choice (with the Option key held down) will be System Profiler. According to the mount.ntfs-3g(8) manual page.
To see how your Mac is starting up, go to the menu bar, hold down the Option key and click on the Apple icon. That would require you to purchase one of the commercial products. Depending on how new your MacBook Pro is, it may only boot 64 bit. The only catch is that it only works with a 32 bit boot kernel.

I did try the free NTFS-3G drivers in Leopard at one time. Tuxera's version eliminates the need for the separate MacFUSE installation, and is faster at accessing NTFS drives.
#Ntfs 3g etc fstab 64 Bit#
This version supports both 32 and 64 bit boot kernels. Tuxera, which provides the funding for the free NTFS-3G has their own paid version. A separate component needed for the free NTFS-3G software. NTFS-3G is the free version, which only works with the 32 bit boot kernel. And without interesting extra options, only things mounted by the mount command (perhaps with a '-t' option) can go into fstab. There are two versions of the open source NTFS-3G software for OS X. Clearly the command 'ntfs-3g' that you execute is not a mount command.
#Ntfs 3g etc fstab install#
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g ntfs-config sudo apt-get install gksu Search for and open ‘NTFS Configuration Tool’ from the Unity Dash. ntfs-3g driver is required to provide full read-write support for the NTFS partition and gksu to run NTFS Configuration GUI with root privileges. There are two commercial choices, and one freebie. You can use ntfs-config GUI utility to mount NTFS partitions in fstab. If you value your data, get NTFS drivers that
I should also mention that at both the MacRumors forum (mentioned) and the Apple forums there has been considerable reporting that doing this leads to system instability and possible loss of data. If that isn't a reason to shy away, I don't know what is.īetter than that, is this comment only a couple of paragraphs down: Yikes! You must not have read any further than the instructions at the top of the page, where even the author noted,
