Mac users: Know anything about Macfuse? - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm running a Mac Pro

I am having a hell of time with some NTSF drives on my mac, I got one NTSF drive that I can actually write too for some reason. While the others i can only read. Most Mac users know you can't write more then 4 gigs to a FAT32 unless it's formatted extended and journaled. But you can't format all drives that way, only media drives.

I need to write to NTSF from my mac for a client's project, till now i've been doing a HD swap by using my PC. This is way too time consuming. I read about Macfuse, which seems to be the right software needed .. however it's a developer software and i'm a little nervous about installing it ...

anyone know anything about this software or an other way to write to ntsf ?

I'd suggest Tuxera, or the open source version since it's based on NTFS-3G.

That was quite stable the last time I used it.

I use Paragon and it works great.
