OSX will normally create a directory/folder as the mount point in the /Volumes/ area for a drive. I.e the folder it created.īut in this case when I unmount my drive the system is not clearing the mount point folder it created in /volumes/įor instance here is output of listing Volumes folder: $ ls -l /Volumes/ĭ-x-x-x+ 3 root admin 102 Jan 24 12:57 FreeAgent Driveĭ-x-x-x+ 3 root admin 102 Jan 24 13:01 FreeAgent Drive 1ĭrwxrwxrwx 1 nikolaygolub staff 4096 Jan 9 01:35 FreeAgent Drive 2 When you unmount the drive, the system should also remove all references of the mount point from /volumes/. Lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 Jan 24 12:50 LV -> /Īs you can see the old mount point folders still exist and each new one increments with a number increases. and another friend's western digital external hd just failed on her, although she's not sure of the source of the problem (could be just a power issue).I've tried to remove all folder after disc ejecting, but it didn't help. If getting a new external hd is the way to go, are any specific models of external hard drives especially recommended? i've heard seagate and hitachi are pretty good.anything else? should i be worried about my maxtor hd failing on me at some point soon (it's two years old)? a friend mentioned to me that he doesn't like maxtor's hard drives.
what would be the best way to back up all the data - should i just get a new external hd for that purpose? or is there a better solution - online data storage? cds? were there any problems with data accidentally getting erased off of the external hard drive? i currently don't have a backup for all the info on my external hd and don't want to try this if it's risky.Ģ) even if it does work like a charm, i should probably back up my external hd, right? pretty much everything is on there (the hd was the backup for my previous computer's internal hd).

Ntfs 3g for yosemite free#
' a free open source program that enables Mac OS X to run file systems that OS X doesn't normally support. i've been looking into solutions for this issue, and initially considered partitioning the external hard drive, then reformatting the empty partition into fat 32 format so that i could read/write/save files onto the hd while using the mac os.īut recently i found about about macfuse - specifically, its ntfs-3g read/write driver: I have a 200 gb maxtor external hard drive that's in ntfs format, meaning that when i plug it into my macbook (running os x 10.5 leopard), the files are read-only (about 40 gb worth of documents, spreadsheets, itunes, photos, etc). Mac newbie (and longtime windows user) ease bear with me, i have a windows-to-mac issue and need some advice!
