This isn't specifically Casper related. I'm wondering what others are using to enable their users to write to external NTFS drives? Looking for something (hopefully free) that I can easily push out.
Question
NTFS Driver
+12
+15MacFuse: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ - deployment might be a little fiddly, but overall we've had success with this product.
+24Try FUSE for OS X (the successor to MacFuse) http://osxfuse.github.com
(MacFuse closed up shop on development in 2009 and never made it to Lion or later)
+23isn't fuse just a platform, but you need like tuxera or something in addition?
+21I use tuxera it's very good for video machines when a Window user needs a massive 5+gb file copied to a drive and fat32 won't do.
We're using Paragon NTFS for Mac here. Seems to work quite well apart from it doesn't show up in the JSS applications list and licenced software list. (Probably because it doesn't install an .app bundle).
+35We reformat the drives as ExFAT.
Then it works nicer cross platform.
+35Disk Utility. :)
Copy data off, refomat as ExFat.. Copy data back.
+35GUID works.
Master Boot should only be needed if using the HD to boot a PC (I think).
Definately not Apple Partition Map.
+21+19exFAT's fine if you don't have any windows XP machines in the mix. If you need to work with XP as well, I prefer Tuxera's NTFS driver over Paragon's. I've had users experience some data loss and corruption with paragon (not a ton, but there have been some issues) while I've never seen a problem with Tuxera.
+35Internally, Windows 7 & 10.6+.
But very valid point.
Meh, whom uses XP anymore? Isn't that like 10 year old??? (Vaguely remembering the MSBlaster virus & 1st IT job).
+21If a freelancer or client is on XP then I'm screwed. Lost count how many times I asked "So what OS you on?" Followed by a deadly silence and a "erm..."
Think ill wait until XP support ends April 8th 2014.
