It builds upon the stable NTFS-3G code base to deliver maximum features and compatibility. The NTFS driver that is built into Mac OS X is not supported by Apple in read/write mode, and it doesn't incorporate the latest developments in NTFS-3G. Using it in read/write mode is on your own risk, and I have heard that there have been incidents. Even though we are also somewhat involved in its development, we cannot provide support for that driver at this time.

It doesn't affect Tuxera NTFS, but the message is annoying. Investigating how to get rid of it is not high on my list of priorities at the moment. Alex:

We have had issues with third party payment system providers, which have taken far more time to solve than we expected. Apologies for the inconvenience and limited payment possibilities. We are also working to support more credit cards directly. <b>Addition 20.11.</b> PayPal works now.

I got this messages with Tuxera installed, they refer to both my ntfs partitions. Is something I should worry about? disk2s1: ioctl(”,51,0) is unsupported.

I got this messages with Tuxera installed, they refer to both my ntfs partitions. Is something I should worry about?

A competitive comparison to Paragon NTFS would also be useful (performance, 32/64bit kernel support etc). It is harder to make a purchasing decision without such information, and I suspect you would increase your sales with such comparative information available. Thank you.
