Hello people, My first post on here... =)
i have a external hard drive with two partitions. One is used for super duper (300GB), and the other is NTFS (1.2TB). Both mount fine when attached to a windows box (running macDrive) but Im having problems when I physically attach the drive to a mac. The mac has both macfuse (v2.1.5) and Paragon NTFS (v9) installed but neither seem to work (tried with either/both of them disabled/enabled). N.B. Macfuse is working when used for mounting other filesystems, and paragon has worked previously although dont have another NTFS drive to test with at the moment. When connected to the Mac (10.5.8) both drives appear in the left hand column of finder, but as soon as I click on either of them, or start Disk Utility, the Mac hangs. It appears to cause some sort of I/O lock. Some things still work in OSX but new apps wont open, and Activity Monitor hangs. As soon as I physically disconnect the external drive the Mac springs back into life, and all the previously buffered key presses are carried out as though nothing had happened, and it was all a dream... Im hoping this is an obvious one, something like you know OSX cant mount filesystems over 1TB, or you need to format with a specific block size. If somebody could let me know that key piece of info Id be most grateful! Thanks, Jon. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
