NTFS-3G 1.1120

You can read about what's new in this release at the official NTFS-3G release page.
There's nothing new that's Mac-specific. The scripts and patches are pretty much the same as in the previous release.
The stable build is still the preferred download. 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. There is a possibility that those reports may have had other causes like faulty hardware.

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... upgrade to 1.1).
This package has been tested with OS X 10.4.11/Intel and OS X 10.5.1/Intel.

If you're having problems with this package, please do the following before reporting it:

• Check if the previous version of the package works better for you.


• Check that the NTFS drive you're trying to mount has been cleanly unmounted in Windows, using "Safe remove hardware". If you just "pull the plug" the drive won't mount with NTFS-3G.


• Check that the NTFS drive is error free, using chkdsk.


• Collect system specifications, such as OS version, processor type (Intel/PowerPC), drive type (internal/USB/FireWire) etc. before submitting a problem report.

This information is essential to solve the problem. Just writing "It doesn't work, you suck." doesn't help a bit.

This build includes:
ntfs-3g 1.1120 (patched)
ntfsprogs 1.13.1

NTFS-3G 1.1104

Here comes the latest version of NTFS-3G for OS X.
This time I'm releasing two versions of the package: one "stable" build with no patches activated (except for some OS X specific ones), and one ublio build, which includes the ublio user space caching layer for performance enchancements.

The stable build is built only from code that have been tested extensively through the ntfs-3g testing process. The ublio build contains external code that offers performance enhancements, but that hasn't been put through the same extensive testing process, and thus is more likely to contain bugs.
When using the ublio build it is extremely important that you make sure that you unmount disks cleanly before removing them from the system.

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... upgrade to 1.1).

Other changes for this build:

• Added an option to disable NTFS-3G through a script in the "Tools" directory, allowing you to switch between the internal NTFS driver and NTFS-3G.


• Made the package more compatible with MacFUSE 1.0.0 and thus Leopard. Full compatibility can't be achieved due to an incompatibility issue between MacFUSE and NTFS-3G that I hope will be resolved in the next MacFUSE release.

This build includes:
ntfs-3g 1.1104 (patched)
ntfsprogs 1.13.1
