    OSXFUSE Project
OSXFUSE allows you to extend Mac OS X's native file handling capabilities via third-party file systems. It is a successor to MacFUSE, which is no longer being maintained.

As a user, installing the OSXFUSE software package will let you use any third-party file system written atop OSXFUSE or MacFUSE, if you choose to install the MacFUSE compatibility layer. As a developer you can use the OSXFUSE SDK to write numerous types of file systems as regular user space programs. The content of these file systems can come from anywhere: from the local disk, from across the network,
What's New
Version 2.3.9:
  • Added support for building PowerPC file systems on Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, if an appropriate version of Xcode is installed (e.g. Xcode 3.2.6).
  • Fixed a race condition, that would lead to a file system deadlock. The deadlock could be triggered by a read/write operation on a file, that had just been created (but not opened, yet).
  • Fixed a deadlock that affected certain file systems (i. e. MooseFS).
  • Fixed an issue that could trigger a "vnode reclaim in progress" kernel panic on 32-bit kernels
  • Fixed an issue where Finder would report a wrong file size for files on sparse FUSE file systems.
  • Fixed an issue that caused Finder on Mac OS X 10.6 and later to not display updated free/used space values for FUSE volumes.
  • Significant speed improvements for read/write operations on FUSE volumes.

Working well as a replacement for MacFuse but I would like to see an update that fixes the timeout issue on Lion with NTFS-3g

The suggested fix (https://gist.github.com/1100318#gistcomment-41742) has been there since July but still no new version that includes it (it's December now).

@Max66

This timeout issue is caused by NTFS-3G in combination with Lion. It has to be addressed in an NTFS-3G update! Since OSXFUSE and NTFS-3G are independent projects providing the workaround is pretty much all that can be done from the OSXFUSE end.

I created a "NTFS-3G" page in the OSXFUSE wiki addressing the timeout issue. In addition to that an easy to use, but unofficial, installer package including the workaround is available for download. No need to compile anything.

More information at https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/wiki/_pages

I can't find a free NTFS binary that works with this, so still unable to mount read/write BootCamp HD...anyone point me toward a suitable candidate?

What's wrong with NTFS-3G? Install NTFS-3G and OSXFUSE (with MacFUSE compatibility layer) and you are good to go.

Tried it. Have it. However, I keep getting an annoying timeout error message with NTFS-3G. I can't find a way to switch this message off. Otherwise, yes, it works.

That's actually a bug in Lion. If you know your way around Terminal/gcc, take a look at https://gist.github.com/1100318. A comment explaining what to do is below the code.

Is this completely compatible with Parallels 7?

I don't use Parallels 7, but if Parallels worked with MacFUSE it will almost certainly work with OSXFUSE. Just select the "MacFUSE compatibility layer" during the installation of OSXFUSE.

Works great with Parallels 6 (with MacFUSE compatibility layer) :)

Yes, works fine with P-7. As fleiben says below, select MacFuse compatibility.

I did some more research and you no longer need MacFUSE with Parallels 7. The only reason I still have MacFUSE is because it was installed with Parallels 6 (which does need it).

Would have been great if Parallels 7 had given the option to remove MacFUSE to help alleviate the confusion, but oh well.

Anyway, Parallels 7 has it's own built-in way to mount VM images now so you no longer need MacFUSE, etc. for Parallels.

Glad to hear it. I saw your earlier post on the MacFuse pane where you commented on the Parallels "support" so didn't do any research there myself. But I may remove it just to keep problematic Lion from any extras I don't absolutely need - I don't know of any other apps I have that need the Fuse. Thanks for the Parallels tip.

OK. How's this different from MacFUSE? Do we need both? Do we need to un-install MacFUSE????

MacFUSE is no longer actively developed. Fuse4X and OSXFUSE are it's successors. You don't have to uninstall MacFUSE or switch to using this right now, rather, this is the future that you will eventually be using.

OSXFUSE fixes several bugs in MacFUSE. The latest version of MacFUSE (2.2.1) will eventually trigger a system crash under heavy load and does not allow you to drag files to MacFUSE volumes on Lion.
There are currently no troubleshooting comments. If you are experiencing a problem with this app, please post a comment.
