Hi,

I've managed to get ntfs-3g working, but when I reboot the ntfs formatted drive reverts to the original read only configuration and name.

One message on the Installation forum suggested modifying the /etc/fstab file, however I don't appear to have one.

Any suggestions?

System:
OS: OSX 10.4.10
NTFS drive: Windows XP 64
ntfs-3g version 1.710 (MacOSX binary)
MacFUSE version Core 0.4.0

Thanks,
Alex

I wrote a AppleScript for unmounting the readonly ntfs partition and mounting the partition with ntfs-3g:

do shell script "diskutil unmount /Volumes/WINDOWS && mkdir /Volumes/WINDOWS && /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/disk0s3 /Volumes/WINDOWS -ovolname=WINDOWS"

(assumed that the windows partition is mounted on /Volumes/WINDOWS and the Device Node is /dev/disk0s3)
save as program (start dialogue disabled!) and linking it into system configuration > user > Startup item

Where are the mount points definied in OSX?
Is there a smarter way to do this?

This works very well with intel iMac 20 inch (bootcamp 1.3 beta on windows xp): 116GB for OSX and 117GB for windows

Do i open a textedit document, paste your script, save it as a program? with what file extension?

if you save it as application it has a *.app extension
