It is based off of FreeBSD's ports system, which is based off the finest package management system known to exist, of course I mean, NetBSD's pkgsrc. NTFS-3G and OSXFUSE are available for a free, package managed source or binary installation using the missing package manager for OS X, MacPorts, which is mature, stable and fully supported, unlike alternative package management solutions for OS X.
I have linked to instructions on how to do this, but the gist of it is to edit the /etc/fstab file and add a line for each ntfs drive you want to write to: LABEL=device-name none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowseĬhanging "device-name" to the name of your ntfs drive.Īlternatively, there is a lot of third party software to give you full ntfs support, such as Paragon NTFS, or the open source NTFS-3G for FUSE which is utilized in the closed source Tuxera NTFS, or an old standard from Thursby Software, DAVE Im way too lazy to put links in all of this, but google will find everything up there with no problems.You can enable write support for ntfs in Mavericks. I do remember having to run something in a lower version of windows compatibility mode, maybe xp, or 7. The last time I did this I did it differently, though I cannot for the life of me remember how. tool allows guiformat to disregard the 2TB limit. I don't know what changes, but something about reformatting with the manuf. If not, i highly recommend trying any or all of the drive utilities provided by the manufacturer, then try guiformat after each one. I say this may not work for you if you do not have a WD drive of some sort. I think at some point i changed the cluster sizes around, but I believe every time the drive was reformatted it reset those to default. (at no point this far did guiformat want to do it, kept erroring with max 2tb, pretty sure i tried about 50 times)Ĥth i used WD Quickformatter, with compatibility set to win xpĥth Lo and behold, guiformat did not throw an error, and formatted the full drive to 4tb. cant hurt!)ģrd back to windows disk, and back to ntfs, still 4tb I could be wrong about the 2TB limit or the lack of ability to read gpt, id say try it anyway. If yer after this for PS3, you might be sol. I got the end result I wanted after some trial and error.ġst i used windows standard disk tool to format the drive to ntfs, full 4tbĢnd i used acronis WD edition to format the drive to exfat, and make sure its gpt and not mbr (i dont think mbr will let you go over 2TB anyway, and I don't believe theres a way around that one. Also, I'm not sure all these steps are necessary.
posting it here, just in case it will help you or anyone with this issue. I got it to work, though I don't know if my solution will work for you. I have a similar issue, with similar unhelpful responses along the lines of "cant be done" or "use exfat" or "use ntfs".
