The OS X version can be downloaded from http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ as the UBLIO build. But performance is quite complex and there can be many additional explanations, see e.g. here: http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#cpu100 One of the most common reason is that certain very popular external drives often end up using USB1 after enforced resets. This is fixed in the USB driver on Linux kernel 2.6.24 but I have seen this widely reported on OS X too (Windows is ok). > On Feb 2, 12:31 pm, Graham Perrin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > From what I gather second-hand, third-hand in IRC, NTFS-3G for Mac > > OS X will either: > > > > a) work very, very nicely > > > > or > > > > b) not work at all. If the NTFS-3G driver detects that the volume wasn't shutdown cleanly then it denies the mount. This is to prevent NTFS-3G to get blamed when the volume is already corrupted. Unfortunately this indeed happens relatively often. For example as the below Microsoft KB article describes, Windows can corrupt NTFS even if the user cleanly ejects an external USB device: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940508 > > Whether or nor that's hearsay, I should generally be prepared for the > > unexpected. By far the most common reason for data loss are hardware faults, well at least on Linux. No software can fix that, only backup (or some HA solution). We are aware of only one major problem in NTFS-3G on OS X. The driver hangs during OS shutdown perhaps because of a signal unsafe fork().
