Thunar and USB drive with NTFS

The other day one of my friend brought his 80 USB drive over and I tried it on my Arch box. Thunar was able to mount it but read/write access only gave an 'permission denied' error. anyone had similar experience b4?
Thx

You can also do it with hal(and ntfs-3g need to be installed of course). http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL

    Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Click Time Machine
    Click Options
    Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
    The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
    Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

    OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

  • Cannot mount external USB drive with FDisk_partition_scheme

    Due to some recent mac issues in my lab, we updated one of the computers to Maverick 10.9.4 from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 yesterday. Anyhow, this seems to have erased the ability of the mac to read or mount several identical USB drives with the NTFS format (WD My Passport Ultra 500GB USB3.0). It could do it yesterday when it was OSX 10.6.8, but not today (OSX 10.9.4). The drives still work fine on other OSX 10.6.8, Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 computers (this is appears to be a problem with the Maverick 10.9.4 operating system itself, rather than the flash drives which work flawlessly with every other computer I've tried). I want to remove data from the computer to create backups on the USB drives (no, I don't want to create an online backup or buy a new set of USB drives).
    diskutil can see the drives, but cannot verify or repair them as they lack a GUID (GPT) partition scheme. I'm assuming this is the root of the problem. Manually mounting the drives does not work. Installing the ntfs-3g driver also did not work (I was using this to write to the NTFS drives until we upgraded OS's). Installing the WD Passport drivers for OSX also did not work. How do I get the mac to mount these drives?
    I could reformat one USB drive and then copy to the others, but this would be extremely inconvenient and take days of copying files back and forth (and would prefer to fix the mac rather than go through this with every NTFS drive I own). If I did this, the FAT32 hard drive format would not be suitable, as format is unable to handle the extremely large sequencing datasets I need to transfer. I'm not super familiar with hard drive formats, but in the event we cannot get Maverick to actually work could someone possibly suggest a format able to handle large file sizes (the largest file I need to move is ~60GB) and be compatible with Windows 8.1 / OSX 10.9.4 / Ubuntu 14.04 as well?
    Another workaround I thought of would be just to install an Ubuntu partition on the mac and get the files off through the Linux install. Which is also inconvenient, but would probably be faster than trying to reformat the drives and copy everything over onto them again given the amount of data I want to transfer.
    Unrelated, but is there any way to view files and folders in the OSX root directory besides through Terminal? It seems like this functionality was also removed when we "upgraded" from Snow Leopard. (At this point, if it were up to me I would wipe all of the macs we own and replace them with Ubuntu... even the most minor of tasks always require some sort of workaround with them... at my wits end here ).

    Yeah this definitely appears to be a problem specifically with this mac. It's been having all sorts of weird problems lately, and we figured that upgrading to Maverick might fix them (but instead we got new problems).
    To give an update on this, I ended up reformatting one of the drives to HFS+ and disabled journaling. It now recognizes the drive again, and I'm pulling the files off that way. I looked at exFAT, but it looks like HFS+ has much better Linux support (Windows is read-only but that's only a minor annoyance, as the algorithms to process the data only run on UNIX machines anyways). It's a shame I couldn't keep using NTFS (had to copy over literally EVERYTHING again...) but whatever. Again, no solution for the issue (where this mac can't read NTFS drives).
    @rkaufmann87 - To give a bit more explanation, we recently had to disable online backups because apparently the sheer amount of data causes Time Machine to freeze the computer and fail every time it has a scheduled backup (original issue we thought that upgrading to Maverick would solve... didn't work). The hard drive has been having a lot of issues when it begins to reach max capacity as well. So I am pulling off all of my files to external hard drives and deleting the local copy before we attempt to back up online again. And the data would probably take me a year and a lot of money to recreate (for the curious, it's high throughput sequencing data). I'm choosing not to take any chances as a result.

  • 1TB USB Disk with NTFS

    I have AE with FirmWare version -- 7.5.1
    and have Toshiba Ext HDD (USB) formatted with NTFS.
    This Disk is connected to AEBS and it shows on AirPort Utility "Disk" Tab screen.
    However I have NOT been able to see or connect this disk to any of my Windows 7 computer.
    I have read lots of old posts saying that NTFS will not work.
    Is it still true (with AEBS FirmWare ver: 7.5.1) or am I missing some configuration.
    I have tried tweaking "Local Security" etc, but no luck.
    Just wanted to re-confirm that, AEBS and NTFS combo will NOT work?

    So, is there any way to get a PC to connect wirelessly to a hard drive connected to the USB port of an AEBS or Time Capsule?
    The Airport Utility on the PC sees the external hard drive, but I am not able to get the backup software, or Windows XP, to connect to that drive.

  • I have recently deleted several old backups from a portable usb drive (formated NTFS-3g(MacFUSE). The macmini can´t see it anymore but my imac does?

    I have recently deleted several old backups from a portable usb drive (formated NTFS-3g(MacFUSE). The macmini can´t see it anymore but my imac does? The usb ports of the mac mini can still see my other drives formated with FAT32.

    Thanks, it is working now, after I have installed NTFS3G.
    I did not format the drive. I was using it as purchased to do backups for a while. After the corporate backup system was working correctly again I was using the disk at home for my homevideos. Since the corporate backup was running correctly for ten days in a row, I have decided to delete those backupfiles on the usb drive. Each backup was a folder consisting of almost 30GB data, mirroring the servers harddrive which is running on windows xp. After I have deleted those folders, only the video files remaind and I could not open the drive on the macmini anymore.

  • Formatting Hard Drive with NTFS instead of FAT32 on E1550

    Is there a way to format the storage hard drive plugged into the USB port using the NTFS format.
    When  using FAT32 the backup software chunks backup files into 4GB blocks.  I am told to avoid that I need format the drive with NTFS format to avoid this.
    However, the Cisco Connect does not offer a choice on how to format the hard drive. 
    It was originally formatted with NTFS, but then I had permission problems and it would not allow me to add the "admin" administrator. 
    Is there a way I can format the drive using NTFS and still keep the correct permissions configured?
    Thank you,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have seen those instructions and I am not getting the same information on the screen they say I should.
    I plugged the storage drive into my computer and reformatted it to the NTFS format.  I even created a folder under the root called "Backup." 
    But when I plug that drive back into the E1550 and go to the "Disk" tab it shows:
    Detecting...
    Partition
    File System
    Capacity
    Free Space
    Create Share
    Total
    232.885 GB
    232.885 GB
    It sees something there but it is not recognizing it and as such I do not have permissions to create shared storage.
    If I select the FORMAT option at the bottom of the page, then it reformats it to FAT32 and is accessable, but it is not the correct format I need for the backup program.  I need NTFS.

    So a guy goes into his doctors office and tells his doctor "Ya gotta
    help me doc...it hurts when I run my head into the door like
    this...OW!". Then the doctor says:
    "DON'T DO THAT ANY MORE!!!"
    (I promise to keep my day job...oops what job...and not go into
    comedy..)
    Why don't you convert all the old 16 bit code into 32 bit code and
    create one application where the various parts all know about each
    other? I don't think that there's any way to coordinate an old 16 bit
    LV and a new 32 bit LV application so that they don't step on each
    other driverwise like they appear to be doing. I don't think that the
    two LabVIEW's even know that the other exists!
    Alternatively, get a second computer to run the 16 bit code on and
    make the two apps communicate with
    each other using TCP/IP or serial.

    Hopefully a simple question that I didn't see a clear-cut answer to in the archives: can a USB drive, being hosted from an AirPort Extreme, have both a FAT partition and a MacOS Extended partition?
    Thanks!

  • IPod Nano, Windows, and USB driver quirkiness question

    Hey all,
    I recently helped someone who was suffering from two separate, show-stopping iPod/iTunes problems to get things into such a state that they could actually make use of both. Things seem to be working fine, though one of our solutions seems to me to be a bit less than optimal.
    For the sake of providing as much information as possible, the first problem (though likely unrelated) was the infamous vanishing iTunes installation. We solved this by using the ctrl-alt-delete trick on an iTunes 4.9 installation (that is, by ending all of the install processes when the installation-ending error message shows up.) Okay, that's not the best solution, but it seems to be all that we can do for now.
    The main concern, however, is with the iPod USB driver, and a problem that began with the formatting of the iPod. I can see that at least a few people have had this problem, but here it is for the sake of it:
    The iPod installation software would state that the iPod needed to be formated, and then proceed to sit for a very long time, "waiting for iPod," until it would eventually fail. We solved this using the second technique (uninstalling the iPod USB driver) outlined by Paul Green7 in this thread: William Brame, "Initial formatting of iPod Nano", 02:49pm Sep 22, 2005 CDT
    After doing this, we ran the iPod setup software again, and it told us that the iPod didn't need to be formatted. Obviously this was rather confusing, but upon loading up iTunes, it proved to be true. It appeared as an actual drive in My Computer, and it showed up properly as a 4gb iPod which songs could be copied to without a hitch.
    That is, until the computer was rebooted. After a reboot, the iPod would only be recognized once again as a "USB Mass Storage Device," would not appear in My Computer, and indeed iTunes failed to recognize it as anything other than a 360gb storage device of some unknown sort.
    So, what we found was that every time the computer was rebooted, the driver needed to be uninstalled again, and when Windows booted again the iPod would be properly recognized.
    Now, as I said, this leaves things in a working, if far less than ideal, state. Can anyone think of a more proper fix for this? It seems to me that we've only partially addressed the problem here, and I can't help but think that this may not be the best state to leave things in.
    Also, if nothing else, is there any possibility of ill effects resulting from our currently-employed solution? As far as I can tell, the worst thing about it is that it's merely bothersome, but then, I've had difficult understanding these problems in the first place.
    That said, if anyone can offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!

    The key to your problem is more than likely the 360GB storage device. This is a symptom of having either network drives or an external hard drive attached to your computer, and Windows confusing them with the iPod. The solution is to reassign the iPod's drive letter. See this:
