Your 3rd party NTFS driver died and obviously Tuxera decided to run it in kernel space. There's a reason why ntfs-3g only runs in user space.
You sacrificed stability for speed.

 

THank you very much for that reply and I greatly appreciate it. There are times when I actually need to write on NTFS external hard drive. DO you recommend any other stable software for mac that enables this feature?

 

Here you go:

PARAGON Software Group - NTFS for Mac, communication channel between Mac OS X and Windows

They have a free trial so you can see if it fully works on your machine.

BTW, apparently NTFS-3G and Tuxera are now one in the same. Per Wiki

You could try the community edition, which is available here.

 

Thank you very much for that reply. You have been really helpful

 

Stop using NTFS is the best way to go... if you need an external drive, format it in ExFAT that way both Mac OS X and Windows can read and write to it without any extra software.

 

thank you very much for that informative reply. just a small clarification, is it possible to load files more than 4gb onto a ExFAT hard rive? coz i think you can't do this on a FAT32 harddrive

 

No, they're not, although they seem to be based on the same code. Benchmarks and Jitto's error message (the Unix equivalent of a Windows BSOD btw) indicate that tuxera_ntfs runs in kernel space (fast but dangerous in case of driver instability) while ntfs-3g runs in user space (slow but harmless to the whole system if the driver crashes). That's a big technical difference.

According to some references I've found ntfs-3g under Mac OS X has no write support, so it doesn't seem to be a real alternative. ntfs-3g itself is write-capable though (it works under Linux). I've found statements that ntfs write support in OS X has to be enabled in fstab, but I don't know if these statements referred to ntfs-3g or to tuxera_ntfs.

[Disclaimer: My statements about OS X should generally be taken with a grain of salt. I have some knowledge of the underlying BSD userland but I know practically nothing of the system as it is seen by the end user.]

exFat can handle files up to 64ZB.

 

thanks for that reply mate. appreciate the help

 

You can also try MacPorts and build the ntfs-3g package from source:

The MacPorts Project -- Home

 

Never knew that....Cheers!!
