MaFUSE, Bootcamp and FAT32 USB 2.0 drives... I have ben able to consistently replicate a problem with Parallels 3.0, Bootcamp 1.2 and the presence of MacFUSE and an external USB 2.0 FAT 32 disk. Problem 1 - if OSX is using MacFUSE to mount NTFS partitions (Vista on Bootcamp) Parallels performance slows to a crawl. I have tried un-installing MacFUSE several times, I've even gone as far as wiping the OSX partition and re-installing the OS from scratch - the result is always the same - if MacFUSE is present Parallels performance slows to a crawl. Problem 2 - my external USB FAT32 disk has to be "not plugged into the USB port" in order for Parallels to boot my Vista Bootcamp partition - otherwise I get an error stating that Parallels found more than one partition and that my bootcamp configuration is "non-standard". If I un-plug (unmounting it is not enough) the USB 2.0 disk then Parallels starts fine. I can then plug in the USB disk, give access to it to Parallels and everything works fine. I'm curious if anyone else has run into this... Walter p.s. Problem 2 was present with Parallels 2.x as well - it does NOT occour if I have Windows XP on my Bootcamp partition - just with Vista... |
