Snow Leopard, Boot Camp, and NTFS

i don't what to tell you man, but as soon as i edited my fstab my ntfs drive works very well. i use LABEL, not UUID. good luck. c

Ok I got my drive back (dual booting to Leopard, Repair Drive under Disk Utility), it was considered dirty under 10.5 and needed a Repair. As I don't have any Windows left on my machines, Leopard+Paragon NTFS did the trick. Snow Leopard definitely doesn't have a full support for NTFS drives. I guess it'd be better to wait for an official version of Paragon NTFS for Snow Leopard, coz Apple support for NTFS is really just an afterthought. Many files I moved to my NTFS drives have been corrupted in the process. I could recover them under Leopard but still, I wouldn't use precious NTFS volumes in RW just yet.

can you tell me exactly how you were able to do this since i am facing the same problem and cannot find the tab that you are talking about. i am trying to get Snow leopard to format a partition in ntfs to run windows vista.
thanks

There are no tabs ! We are talking about a FILE named fstab. More precisely, /etc/fstab.

If you don't understand the concepts we're talking about here, it's not safe to try to do it yourself.
This is unix hacking, is not officially supported by Apple and could potentially be desastrous for your pristine Mac...

I have stopped using this myself, as it was too unstable and not worth risking over 2TB of data for me. I switched back my kernel to 32 bits (was running full 64 bits before) and installed the beta version of Paragon NTFS for Snow Leopard (which needed a 32 bits kernel) for a test drive. It's working much better than the fstab hack, allows me to Repair my drives and format them in NTFS which wasn't possible with the hack.

So I'd wait for the final version of Paragon NTFS for Snow Leopard, due end of september, and get myself a copy. Although it's more expensive than Snow Leopard itself, if you have any valuable data on NTFS drives, I'm quite sure it's worth it...
