NTFS and exFAT drivers - Githubissues

albertputinjobs commented 1 year ago

can you make a ntfs and exfat driver like tuxera or paragon plz

macos-fuse-t commented 1 year ago

you can compile it yourself: https://github.com/macos-fuse-t/ntfs-3g

albertputinjobs commented 1 year ago

It is too confusing why don't use make your own ntfs driver and sell it on mac app store for ntfs and exfat

as you mentioned there are available solutions. why do you need another one?

albertputinjobs commented 1 year ago

because those are not working when they ask to enable kext in settings they are not showing up.

there is no available solution without enabling kext in settings and they are not showing up even if they do show up it asks to restart and when I did it does not work!

It is not mounting drives

macos-fuse-t commented 1 year ago

Did you create a mount point first (/Volumes/CCC....) ?

can u help me how to do that ?

Rastafabisch commented 1 year ago

I'm having trouble compiling the NTFS driver as well – during the make install stage:

if [ ! "/lib" -ef "/usr/local/lib" ]; then \
        /bin/mv -f "//usr/local/lib"/libntfs-3g.so* "//lib";  \
    fi
mv: rename //usr/local/lib/libntfs-3g.so* to //lib: No such file or directory

This happens no matter which --prefix=/opt… I run ./configure with.

Could you provide a homebrew formula for nfts-3g as well?

Rastafabisch commented 1 year ago

I fixed it by appending --exec_prefix=/opt… to the ./configurecommand.

can u make a video are u able to mount ?

asamahy commented 1 year ago

@albertputinjobs

download or clone the repository
using terminal cd inside the ntfs-3g directory

run the following commands one by one: (assuming you already installed FUSE-T)

./autogen
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -lintl" ./configure --with-fuse=/usr/local/lib/libfuse-t.dylib --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --exec_prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

and to mount a drive: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/DISK-LOCATION /Volumes/MOUNT-NAME if it complains about not finding the mount point then create it first using mkdir: sudo mkdir /Volumes/MOUNT-NAME

P.S: change DISK-LOCATION and MOUNT-NAME with your corresponding one. you can find you disk location using diskutil list

albertputinjobs commented 1 year ago

this technology works but it is very slow read write speed it is taking lot of minutes. iboysoft ntfs is much faster than this

asamahy commented 1 year ago

Slow yet is completely free. btw iboysoft does make at least 3 false claims about ntfs-3g 1) it does support Ventura. 2) it does support automount. 3) and it can repair NTFS disks.

anyways this is not a who done it better thread, you asked how to compile and use for NTFS drives and an answer was provided hopefully with an easy to follow steps.

download or clone the repository

using terminal cd inside the ntfs-3g directory

run the following commands one by one: (assuming you already installed FUSE-T)
./autogen
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -lintl" ./configure --with-fuse=/usr/local/lib/libfuse-t.dylib --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --exec_prefix=/usr/local
make
make install
and to mount a drive: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/DISK-LOCATION /Volumes/MOUNT-NAME if it complains about not finding the mount point then create it first using mkdir: sudo mkdir /Volumes/MOUNT-NAME

It doesn't work for me since it could not find libintl file. To solve this, I used:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gettext/0.22.3/lib/ -lintl" ./configure --with-fuse=/usr/local/lib/libfuse-t.dylib --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/share/man --exec_prefix=/usr/local

It worked for me but now, sudo ntfs-3g command gives an error like:

dyld[49668]: Symbol not found: _fuse_destroy
  Referenced from: <E48335E1-6AC2-3104-84AC-4218ABAFA84F> /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g
  Expected in:     <no uuid> unknown
zsh: abort      sudo ntfs-3g

Do you have any idea about that? I am running MacOS Ventura.

Is /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g a correct binary? What is the output of otool -L /usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g
