More install + uninstall info #2

Closed rev111 closed 1 year ago

rev111 commented 2 years ago

Hello, this sounds like a nice alternative to MacFuse. But what is its state, how long and well is it tested, is it production-ready? What happens after I install? Can I see somewhere that it is working? What happens if there is an existing MacFuse installation? Finally, if I encounter a problem - how do I uninstall?

I couldn't find any information about that (sorry if I overlooked something).

The first version (1.0.0) is not production ready yet. The package itself is useless to the end user unless: you develop a filesystem based on FUSE, you install other packages that depend on it such as sshfs (which is conveniently attached to the downloads). To uninstall run the following script: sudo "/Library/Application Support/fuse-t/uninstall.sh" Finally you can install it along with macfuse.

I managed to get it working with ntfs-3g on Ventura (only tested on Intel, assuming fuse-t is installed already using homebrew):

  1. Make sure autotools are installed (brew install autoconf automake libtool)
  2. Download ntfs-3g source code: git clone https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g.git && cd ntfs-3g
  3. autoreconf -i
  4. ./configure CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/fuse" LDFLAGS="-lintl -lfuse-t" FUSE_MODULE_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/fuse -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" FUSE_MODULE_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib"
  5. make
  6. sudo make install
  7. If make install aborts with error mv: rename //usr/local/lib/libntfs-3g.so to //lib: No such file or directory, finish install manually: cp src/ntfs-3g /usr/local/bin; cp -R src/.libs /usr/local/bin
  8. Test ntfs-3g install, e.g.: 
    # unmount if necessary
sudo diskutil unmount /dev/disk1s1
# mount with ntfs-3g
sudo mkdir /Volumes/NTFS
sudo /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g /dev/disk1s1 /Volumes/NTFS -o local -o allow_other -o auto_xattr -o auto_cache
  9. This should result in an NFS mount named "localhost" that is ejectable in the Finder.
