The only conclusion I can draw at this moment is that OS X Yosemite does not support hard drives larger than 2TB.
Very wrong. Yosemite supports drives up to 8EB (exabytes. Or 8 million terabytes. You could download the internet with some room left over).
What it has problems with is proprietary file formats from other companies, esp. if the patent holder doesn't want to share.
If you want to access the full drive on your Mac, repartition it in Disk Utility and format as HFS+. If you want to share the data on this very large volume across platforms, the easiest way is a NAS enclosure (Network Attached Storage - basically an external drive with an ethernet port). The disk format only matters to the device it's directly connected to.
Firstly you should not need any extras to mount NTFS drives.
You do not make it clear what you want to achieve.
I have an old FreeAgent I used for Windows backup. I DON'T want it to automount, so I have the following in etc/fstab
see edit detail below
#
# Warning - this file should only be modified with vifs(8)
#
# Failure to do so is unsupported and may be destructive.
#
UUID=E00F307A-9295-482E-8A79-2FA2C922F3CD none ntfs rw,noauto
⋯
LABEL=Tempy none ntfs rw,noauto
I can use DiskUtility to mount if I want to access these.
If you want to auto mount in a specific directory you can create an entry to do this. If you do create a directory and edit fstab
.
NOTE you should use vifs
, which requires a knowledge of vi
commands, so you should look at man vi
to discover the basic commands.
:q! quits

Finally I solved it by updating to 3.1.0 (thanx guys) and deleting alias icons. After system reboot my volumes got their original names
