Am I doing something wrong or is NTFS not supported on Vegan 5.1?
I have tried sdcard2, a USB Thumb Drive, and USB HD all with NTFS, Vegan 5.1 does not see them says it is empty or invalid disk. As soon as I go to FAT32, works like a champ. My computer sees all 3 when formated with NTFS and I can write and read from them.
I would like NTFS so I can store large movie files for when I travel.
Thank you
Have you tried this? I beleive you still have to mount the drive manually

Moved to general
I am on Vegan 5.1 with clempatchvegan10.9.8IPv6PPOEProxy and the WIFIFIXproxy kernal updates (post 239 of Clemsyn's KERNAL corner post) and use Mount Manager from the Market to mount the files systems. I am able to mount and access my SMB networked NAS or the C drive (Vista NTFS) on my laptop without any issues. I suggest you try Mount Manager to see if it helps with your situation.

i know the usb ports on the dock supprt ntfs read/write but has anyone tried ntfs formatted microsd? i wont be able to check mine til i get home. but i would't see why it can't. it would be nice to store an 8 GB video file on the sdcard. even if the tf wouldn't be able to play it
i'm pretty sue clockwork won't get along with ntfs though.
where did you hear the dock supported NTFS? to my understanding linux can't read that so nothing on the device should be able to support NTFS.

Actually linux reads (and write) NTFS quite fine.
For NTFS support linux uses NTFS-3g (free) or Tuxera (commercial). The questions is - did Asus add NTFS drivers? Some users of Transformer say it did and that it works.

interesting. I just figured that since all the android devices have never supported NTFS, at least the ones i've owned.
if i had a blank SD card i'd try it for you, but all mine have way to much data on it to try.
If at least the USB ports work thats nice cause i can then move my HD movies onto a 32GB flash drive. instead of trying to somehow get them under 4GB.
Honeycomb does not have native NTFS support built into the kernel but there is a custom ROM available that has this feature quoted "The Transformer's first custom kernel with CIFS/TUN/NTFS compiled in"
See: "[ROM] PRIME! v1.2 | Fast | Rooted | Deodexed" in the dev section of this forum

I have no idea if this would help with the NTFS microSD access you asked about.
I just formatted to NTFS on a class 10 wintec 16gb microsd. Doesn't work. I'm on stock honeycomb.
Back to fat32 i go!

Maybe the people that reported NTFS working used this kernel. I didn't pay attention to what they were writing much because am not using NTFS. But I was almost sure they were talking about a Transformer with stock firmware. Well aparently I was wrong, sorry for spreading misinformation.
ntfs formatted western digital passport does work very well on the usb port though....strange that microsd doesn't
At the time of my initial test i was using paul's rom from modaco. There wasn't any mention of ntfs support in the notes. Eifher i missed the note or he corgot to include the change.
Fyi archos tabets support ntfs read.
From what I read the NTFS support was add in the v1.2 release of that PRIME custom ROM. Maybe you were using an earlier version. The last edit of that forum post was "6th May 2011 at 12:55 AM" which I assume was when the new PRIME ROM v1.2 version was released.
i didn't try th prime rom til yesterday.i was on modaco while doingthe exthd test.
did a noob thing hereand posted efore searching .someon else asked the question and said the stock tf bas ntfs support otb according to the manual. i havent pulled mine out yet to verify.
Bump, trying to figure out if prime 1.3 will support NTFS SDCARD.
I am running Stock TF101 with 3.1 Android and the dock supports NTFS USB Media and Sd-Card NTFS Media very well.
So NTFS with any media that connects to the dock works, at least all i could get hold of these included some USB-Sticks from 512 MB to 8 GB and USB 3.0 2.5" 1TB HDD. Also SD-Cards and my microSD in an SD Adapter works.
But here comes the strange part if i remove the microSD out of the Adapter and put it into the tablet it won't work. Yes the same card that worked 10 seconds before in the dock.
For anyone that finds this thread in the future: The MicroSD card is expected to be FAT formatted and therefore, will not automatically mount if it is NTFS. But, since NTFS is supported on the tablet, you can manually mount the MicroSD and it will work fine when formatted as NTFS. You'll need root and someway to run the below commands.
Mount:
Code:
mkdir /data/Removable/MicroSD
mount /dev/block/vold/179\:9 /data/Removable/MicroSD

I've tried entering the script in Terminal Emulator, but get
"Usage: mount [-r] [-w].... etc.."
This means there's something wrong with the code?
Found this thread through google search. I have a 32gb patriot class 10 micro sd card - just formatted to ntfs and android 3.2 reads it natively. Not yet rooted either.
I too, am on a stock Android 3.2 with a NTFS formated 32 GB class 10 microSDHC. My Asus Transformer tablet works fine, and can read files off of the memory card. I haven't tried the dock's memory card reading slot, but I presume it'll just work the same.

You should be able to navigate into the actual directory:
/dev/block/vold/179 ...
If not, it might be elsewhere, slightly different location, like
/dev/block/vold/<another number?>
or
/dev/block/<another directory>/179
etc.
Once you find the actual flash directory it should be easy to mount to a known location. I am not rooted so I can not look on mine for differences.
What this implies... it might require a script or configuration to auto mount in any configuration. On LINUX this is handled a bunch of different ways depending on the kernel version, and likely similar on Android OS.
Good luck.

Confirmed! Same here I have 16GB ADATA class 10 microSDHC, NTFS formated. Works on my tablet not root just stock 3.2.
!!!Requires root!!!
To verify root access please use Root Checker app.

Thanks, will there be any actual performance improvements using NTFS over FAT32? File transfers, access...
Integration to rom
Can binaries be integrated into rom for out of the box automatic mounting?
Can you provide script for this if needed?
It's wonderful
SD format
If I format my sd card to ntfs using windows and mount it on my tablet, will it read it without corruption?
will it work on samsung galaxy grand????
this works on galaxy grand???
Is there any chance to unlock the exFAT support for OEMs?
Hi everyone.
I've got a problem with the permissions of my brand new Micro SD Card. When I plug it in my desktop computer, I can obviously write on it, but as soon as I put it in my tablet, I can only read the files I put on it, not modify/delete them or write new ones. I tried to change the permissions with Root Explorer, but I fails.
My tablet is rooted and I flashed the official CM10. As I read that exFAT is not supported by CM10 on this tablet I formated the SD card in NTFS.
So, can someone help me with this ?
The vanilla Linux kernel can only read NTFS, but not write to it. For write support you need either a proprietary kernel module (which the stock ROM includes, along with one for exFAT), or FUSE with ntfs-3g (which might not yet be included in CM).
Workaround: format with FAT32.
Thanks for your answer. I could reformat my card in FAT32, but then I wouldn't be able to put files larger than 4 GB on my card.
I guess I'll stay in NTFS for now, and hope that exFAT will be supported by CM10 someday.
I have a 64GB microSDXC and I want to use this between my Surface, Nexus 7 tablet, Windows 7 and OSX. What is the recommended partition I need to format the SD card?
I have MacDrive for Windows 7 (can read Mac partition in Windows) and NTFS Drive for OSX (can read NTFS in Mac). Obviously Android cannot read NTFS, so I am down to FAT32 (cannot read file larger than 32GB) or exFAT.
Is exFAT compatible with Android and OSX?
SDXC uses exFAT, so if your devices are SDXC-compatible, they should be able to read (and hopefully write) exFAT. However, unless you need to move files bigger than 4GB (which happens on occasion, but not *very* often) I'd go with FAT32; *everything* supports that.
Another option is UDF (which is a format intended for re-writable CDs and DVDs, mostly, but can be used on anything). Linux (and therefore hopefully Android) has supported that for years. I don't know if it has a 4GB or similar file size limit, though. I don't really know what filesystems Android supports, though... it might actually be able to handle NTFS, especially if you root it and install (an ARM compile of) the Linux NTFS drivers (either as a kernel filesystem, or using FUSE and ntfs-3g, which is how I'd recommend doing it if FUSE is available for Android).
Since when does the nexus 7 have a sdcard slot?

I use USB TO GO cable to connect a mini Micro SD card reader.
You should be able to get an NTFS driver for the N7 (I had one on my last Android tablet), though Fat32 will give the best compatibility. Fat32 can be on disks larger than 32GB, Windows just won't let you format them to that. Format them on the Mac or on the Android tablet.
