TuxeraNTFS-3G troubling with standard NTFS-3G with macFUSE


Posted on Jun 23, 2011 by Massive Bird

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. i installed the comercial version of the NTFS-3G from Tuxera. but unlikely the Freeware Version of NTFS-3G it refused to read some directories or rejected Mounted Devices through Truecrypt. It also doesn't recognize apple specific File attributes written by the Freeware Version.

especially when mounting a Truecrypt drive, I gained the following error Prompt: "Libary/Filesystem/fuse.fs/Support/fuse.kext failed to load - (libkern kext) link error; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8)" the macfuse system is not available (71)

I didn't had these troubles with my other Macs who have the Freeware NTFS-3G installed. So I tried to downgrade the tuxera NTFX-3G to the freeware NTFS-3G But when i then tried to plug any NTFS formatted USB drive they got rejected and i got the same Message:

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? "Libary/Filesystem/fuse.fs/Support/fuse.kext failed to load - (libkern kext) link error; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8)" the macfuse system is not available (71)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

MacFUSE 2.0.3,2 TuxeraNTFS_2010_112-RC MacOS 10.6.7 MacBookPro i7 17" 2011 Please provide any additional information below.
