NTFS-3G 1.2531
NTFS-3G for Mac OS X is a read-write (finally) NTFS file-system driver. This means we can finally write to memory sticks larger than 4GB (formatted with NTFS).
I have created a package similar to shadowofged’s original NTFS-3G package, providing better integration with OS X such as automatic mounting of volumes. It is loosely based on the old shadowofged package, but the binary-only components have been replaced by my own GPL replacements.
What’s new:
Version 1.2531:
• Fix: Mount failed with “Invalid argument” error message if the mountpoint was a symlink.
• Fix: A corrupted directory could hang the driver.
• Fix: Mount could hang if the block allocation map was corrupted.
• Fix: The driver could hang or misbehave when compressed, sparse or encrypted file attribute flags were corrupted.
• Fix: The driver could crash when both an MFT attribute offset and the allocated bytes were corrupted.
• Fix: Building the driver failed if the –exec-prefix configure option was used without –sbindir=/sbin.
• Fix: Parallel ‘make install’ may failed.
• New: Support building the driver in a separate directory.
• configure option which installs /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g?, so mount via mount(8) and /etc/fstab can work on Linux. The default is enabled on Linux and disabled on all other operating systems. New: Added –enable-mount-helper
