I have 69GB worth of tga’s rendered out for my 4d project, and 61GB of space on this mac…delete 8GB!?… nope, the drive is an NTFS partition.. meanining that on a mac its read only. What about the other partition the fat32 partition on my external HD?… again, nope… you can’t write more than 4gb to a fat drive at once, else it will break….
Options remaining:
- copy files to the raid via the mac?: Nope, the mac no longer see’s the raid
- copy over the network?: Nope, annoyingly enough the mac can see other computers, but not access them
- find an external mac (hfs+) formatted external drive? Nope, windows cant read hfs or hfs+, and i need windows to write tga’s to 7th format…..
This computer has a windows partition (with 11gb free) if i reboot in windows and go on a delting mission maybe i could copy files to the NTFS partition from the mac, or render out the tga’s in after effects again, then finally write them to my external NTFS external HD….
This is where my time goes! doing trivial tasks like this!
