diskutil info
|
You can copy the # by running the Disk Utility on a pre-installed leo system (snow or leo) but you can also see it by running the installation disk of snow leo and then opening Disk Utility, there are some commands to invoke these infos from Terminal but i'm no so familiar with.. sorriez!

i've managed to boot into 64bit SL, before, i've runned only at 32bit..made a mistake.. sometimes SL would crash, and if i would boot into win, sometimes folders would be broken and locked (even though i can use the files from within) and in SL, those folders would be just plain empty in finder, and still i could use those files.. this time i booted in win, it did this thing to my whole NTFS partition... jesus christ, ever since i made this change to fstab SL just crashes more often, and sometimes i get hanged at restart/shutdown.... edit: right, well.. every time SL crashed or hanged at restart/shutdown(blue screen and loopy icon) I got a disk check at win boot so, this time i've waited for win to do the disk check for this NTFS partition I had problem with. it went ok, and fixed the problem, but still i have this crashes.. |
In my experience, NTFS write support in SL is not reliable. I've used it, but I will keep it disabled by default as I don't often need to write to NTFS.
In Leopard, MacFuse + NTFS-3G was very reliable. |
Any news about SL version of MacFuse & Ntfs-3G ?
|
If you use this method make sure you remove the drive/drives in question from the spotlight indexing, I've had some nasty freezing because of that.
Other than that works great. |
I've installed paragons NTFS on mac osx, and.. even though it's said it has snow leopard support, it doesn't work at all.
without any app for NTFS support, i can only read NTFS partitions. |

http://www.paragon-software.com/home...-download.html They say its compatible with SL. I hope it works because I dont really trust Apple's NTFS, if its disabled by default there must be some reason. I also see some messages in the log complaining about one of my partitions mft having error that otherwise seems to be perfectly fine, not sure if its an error or they are being overly cautious. Besides the current solution its not really good enough, you have edit fstab manually for each volume, to be really useful we would have to find a way to change the automount options for all ntfs to be read/write. |
The "http://ntfsmounter.com/" doesn't help?
