Usually with U disk data transfer time, if it is windows or linux, generally not a problem, but if you copy the file from the MAC under, it basically will encounter you can not write to NTFS format U disk problems.
Solution nothing more than three types:
- Replacing U disc format, such as the Fat32, or exFat format.
- Spend money to buy Apple software that lets MAC support NTFS.
- Replace the U disk format into Apple's HFS format. For Windows / linux installed support software.
These three programs:
- The first most easy, all-platform compatible. But it is said under the MAC operations may lead to U disk file is missing, but the biggest drawback is that if not your U disk, people may not take care of you, not necessarily Fat32 / exFat format.
- The second simple and crude, seemingly little problem. Drawback is to spend money.
- The third comparison is not recommended, mainly if too many non-MAC machines involved, that's too much trouble, might as well spend the second program. But the advantage is very stable, such as for windows platform, excellent compatibility, various formats can-take-all.
- Overall, if for practical use, so MAC support NTFS is the best solution.
Fortunately, after inquiry and trial, we found a free program that lets MAC native support NTFS.
It is said that, MAC natively supports NTFS, only be regarded as the only shield technology.
Let MAC native support for NTFS format U disk
Procedure:
I sort of scheme, above discrepancy.
-
Inserting apparatus (u disk)
-
View U disk volume label (that is, more than just a sign of the hard disk's name it) on the desktop, this down
Of course, if no display or other problems, may also be entered by the terminal diskutil list
Returns the contents of multiple segments, the general reference to the last paragraph, as follows:
/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *62.1 GB disk2
1: Windows_NTFS KINGSTON 62.1 GB disk2s1
Look at the last one, u disk format is ntfs, his name was KINGSTON , this name is the label.
- Open the configuration file, the label is written.
Input terminal sudo nano /etc/fstab. Of course, you are also willing to be friends with vim vim ~ nano replaced on the line.
Note that this file fstabmay not exist, then create their own just fine.
After opening the file, add a new row, write the following:
LABEL=KINGSTON none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse
Here KINGSTON into your label just fine. If the next time there is also a new device, then add a line on the line.
According to the original said, if your label if this is ABC DEFG with spaces, then there should be rewritten ABC \ 040DEFG, is to use \ 040 represents the spaces.
As for the meaning, I do not know, paste the following:
RW represents ntfs behind this partition mounted as read-write format ntfs
Finally nobrowse very important, because it represents a partition, this option is very important, if not open, then mount will not succeed does not appear in the finder inside.
Finally, save the file.
With nano open, press Ctrl + X to close, prompts you to save, press y to save.
With vim on, press the ESC, the: wq to.
-
Re-plug the U disk, this step is necessary
-
Into the U disk directory
This step adds? Yes, this really have to say the next step. Because of the configuration of the above, he is not now the desktop. How to find that fight it?
Right-click on the Finder, choose Go to Folder, type / Volumes, enter the disk directory. I think you'll just see the label of this folder. For example, I was KINGSTON .
Digression
Although there are several steps the steps, but the whole operation is very simple, and a label appears only once on the line. If several fixed u disk, then once set up, it is still very convenient.
This method is most important is free, and configured to peace of mind, except that there is no test, without labels. In the terminal Check the label appears empty, this situation is currently not tried. It is recommended that still have a label better.
U disk used for so many years, never use the label, and now finally know the importance.
