fusefs in parallels 3; Making use of macfuse? I had a look at the mounted volume presentig the windows files in osx when using version 3 of parallels and saw it beeing a "fusefs" file format. Does this mean you're making use of macfuse? Is this interfering with an already installed macfuse system? Would it cause trouble to update a existing macfuse installation - say to version 0.4 as of this week? What about Macfusion. Are you supporting Macfusion so I that can mount a windows drive or even better a windows folder via the Macfusion menu item? BTW: Version 3 feels good. Snappier. Faster boot. Smart select? --> smart! |

fusefs? Anyone @ parallels? Anyone? Edit: I just read this thread: http://forum.parallels.com/thread12674.html What I gather from this is: Parallels is running it's own macfuse instance. This installation is interfering with an already existing installation of macfuse. Furthermore the present build of parallels is making use of version 3 of macfuse and an user triggered installation of version 4 of macfuse is breaking the functionality of the macfuse/parallels instance. What I wish for future releases: - Check for existing macfuse installation - Make use of this "already done by user" installation - build a plugIn for macfusion so anyone can easily mount the windows drive from the menubar whenever one needs to. |

Sorry, I started this thread a few days ago. Just got no answer. Also I wrote the last edit while you wrote your last post - and didn't see it in time. |

Well then it's my fault, since your's is the first one I am the blind one. To answer your question partly, I already used Macfuse 0.4, and Parallels mounting qas not working, I had to uninstall both MacFuse and NTFS-3G for Parallels to work. Afterwards I tried upgrading just the Fuse to 0.4, but with no luck, Parallels lost all functionality again. So it seems we are stuck with 0.3, and from what I have tried the answer is no, no Fusion menu item suppport, maybe it is a custom Fuse they are using, since you can find it in /Library and not in /System/Library. Sorry, Stef |

to alexg @ parallels I presume making use of a "done by user" installation won't be to difficult? If so please build a plugIn for macfusion. I'm using macfusion quite a lot to mount ftp, ssh, encFs. Mounting parallels windows drives the same way would just be great. Do you think you can/will do that? |

MacFUSE and "bootcamp" in 2.5 Actually, I just un-installed NTFS-3G (with Fuse v3) because it was causing problems with access to NTFS partitions under Parallels 2.5. When Parallels started up the VM it would correctly dismount the partitions from OSX - but when it closed down, it would try to re-mount them and hang. Removing NTFS-3G fixed this. (I'm using a second MBR-formatted drive for "boot camp", with separate system and data partitions - I run Parallels from a separate, disk-image windows installation, but its sometimes useful to mount the boot camp data drive). Is this fixed in parallels 3? |
