I run a triple boot Macbook Pro 8,1 (OS X Lion, Windows 7 64-bit, and Linux -- currently Mageia 2 Beta 1 64bit). I have 8 GB of RAM. This is a Core i7 2.6 Ghz machine with 4 cores/8 threads. Because I need to access the same Virtual Machines from all operating systems, I have traditionally put the VMs on a separate NTFS "Data" partition (and used the latest Paragon NTFS from OS X, because it outperforms ntfs-3g for OS X). ntfs-3g has never given me any issues in Linux and in fact until 3 weeks ago I was running the above configuration with Mandriva 2011 on this same triple boot Macbook Pro. However, now with Mageia 2 Beta 1, if I try to run a VMware VM from an NTFS partition, top quickly shows that mount.ntfs-3g goes to 100 percent cpu and stays there. The VM basically hangs (if I am very patient and wait about 10 minutes, I can close it cleanly). If I copy the same VM to an EXT4 partition, it runs fine. I had the same issue with the 3.2.9 kernel and the 3.3.0-rc6 kernel. How can I help troubleshoot this? Is there a problem with ntfs-3g in this version of Mageia?
