Ok, tell me how can I mount my firend's external USB HDD, which is formatted with NTFS? There is existing an NTFS filesystem for MorphOS, isn't it? Is it possible at all?

you can't.

'V3.6
- Mass storage class overhaul. Now supports bigger physical block sizes
for automounting of RDB partitions, FAT/NTFS and also CD/DVD drives.'

the morphos update for poseidon will probably be in next weeks morphos release.

Bollocks.

Like it says; this is just about automounting, you can mount an NTFS partition perfectly fine manually by using Geit's excellent GiggleDisk (on usbscsi.device)!

CISC : Thank you very much, I have the same needs that GK_LKA and GiggleDisk went out of my memory. I'm jsut going to test it again !

Cool. I didnt know about Giggle Disk either. Very nice. Lets get a report if it works for you guys please..

GiggleDisk is exactly what I needed :) Thanks!

bringing this one back from the dead...

giggledisk works great. Mounted a 500GB USB drive without any problems. Now copying all 6000+ MAME roms to my Mac Mini :)

@MagicM

NTFS (read-only) support (via L:NTFS) is included with the OS distribution (since r2.5).

No need for giggledisk anymore.

NTFS volumes should mount automagically just under a vanilla install (at least they do here...)

Now you can also write on ntfs disks via NTFS3G (I've written it well?)

Also, if something doesn't mount automatically, Sys:Tools/Mounter can be used.
And about NTFS, NTFS3g was also ported, which gives write support.

@Fab

Thanks for taking the time to reply. You were correct. I tried Mounter and it worked fine. No icon on the desktop. Its mounted read-only. I'll do some research to see what I'm not doing correctly.

@TheMagicM

Nothing wrong, the included L:NTFS only gives read-only support.

To get read/write access (with limitations, see the readme) you would need to install Leif's NTFS3G and filesysbox.

Cool... I'll try it after I fix my system... somehow I inadvertently hosed it.
