Unlock NTFS write support in SL (updated on 04/10/09)
Update 04/10/09
Slic posted a (hopefully) proper solution for enabling read/write support in SL so I'm pasting his info here Quote:
Update 03/10/09 I've been using a combination of MacFuse & NTFS-3G lately because the below method seems unstable. Besides the disk check at windows boot it seems to work properly. This info is used from another forum (and edited by me): - Open Diskutility, right click windows drive you want write support for and select information, then copy the UUID string - Open Terminal.app - Type Code:
sudo nano /etc/fstab Code:
UUID=paste_the_uuid_here none ntfs rw - Save the file (CTRL + O) name it "fstab" confirm with enter, close (CTRL + X) and restart your system (sudo reboot) After reboot, NTFS partitions should natively have read and write support. This works in both 32 and 64-bit kernels. Support is quite good and fast, it even recognizes file attributes such as hidden files.

I didn't remove fstab.hd. Just saved as a new file called fstab.

Yeah that's one thought, it's a sensitive system file, you could always keep a backup!

Maybe there was a script that did that for you, one of those that create a dsdt maybe?

you just open a text file write the commands you want to run in sequence, save it, chmod it so it can be executable and that's it, just call it from terminal or from inside other scripts.. Ιδιοκτήτης του HellasProject.com
