![]() ![]() Apps that check for those specific file system formats might not detect them."īackblaze and Affinity Photo, after I recently upgraded to Ventura, both had problems accessing an exFAT formatted external SSD attached to my iMac - although Backblaze said they had developed a new beta of their app to workaround this change, they suggested it would be better/easier if I could reformat to APFS or macOS Extended - in my case I've been able to do that and Backblaze and Affinity are now back working fine with this SSD. Re exFAT - I'm way out of my knowledge zone really but Apple's macOS Ventura Release Notes in the section File System New Features state: "There’s a change to the implementation of the msdos and exfat file systems. This is the only forum I found where posters claimed to be having problems with exFAT on Ventura. The Kazakh headers don't give me great confidence, but it's good to see that exFAT is still supported. If user-space NTFS support is new in Ventura 13, Apple documentation certainly doesn't say so. It would be nice if an API offered support for user-space filesystems, like FUSE on Linux. This is the only forum I found where Ventura users claimed to be having problems with exFAT. The Kazakh headers don't give me great confidence, but it's good to see they still claim support for exFAT. Now that processors are so much faster than they were "back in the day", there's a bit more willingness to take that hit. The problem with moving stuff to user space (for security/stability reasons) is the performance cost of all the extra context switches. It probably wouldn't hurt to ask the vendor who supplied your current NTFS driver if their driver will work as-is under Ventura, or, if it won't, when they are planning to release one that does.īy the way, I believe that running extensions in user space was one of the goals of the original CMU Mach microkernel project. ![]() I don't know offhand if Ventura will force that change, but even if it doesn't, that's the way that things seem to be headed. What you really seem to be asking is more along the lines of "Will my third-party NTFS drivers continue to work, now that Apple is trying to move people from writing kernel extensions that run in system space, to writing drivers that run in user space?" the most likely reason why it is disabled is that Apple does not have confidence in it, and does not want to risk corrupting customers' NTFS disks.macOS has code to write to NTFS, but that code is intentionally disabled.From my recollections of what I've read elsewhere, I doubt if Apple has added built-in support for writing to NTFS-formatted disks. ![]()
