NTFS-3G 2010.10.2

NTFS-3G is a free and open source read/write file system Mac OS X driver for the Windows file system NTFS.

This means one can finally write to memory sticks larger than 4GB (formatted with NTFS).

A file system driver is the software component that interprets the on disk structures of the file system and presents a logical hierarchical view to the applications using it. It can be a part of the operating system, or come as a third party module, like NTFS-3G.

Here are some key features of "NTFS-3G":

· Ability to format NTFS volumes via diskutil
· Automatic read-write mounting of NTFS volumes
· Customizable locale settings on a per-volume basis
· An opt-out solution for volumes you want mounted read-only via Apple's NTFS driver.
· Waits for MacFUSE 'mounted' notification prior to handing drives to Finder

Requirements:

· MacFUSE Core
· MacFUSE Tools
