#1 Fail for volume with spaces in the name

[Amida]

Hello Rubenium,

I have tried your script. It failed because my HD name was "Seagate Backup Drive Plus". I renamed it to a "non spaced string". And it worked.

Also I have no idea of bash scripting but I believe your conditions comparison operators should be '==' and not '=' (unless = is a comparison operator when used in an if clause)

(Except for these details, the script worked and I have been able to write in OSX thanks to you :))

I had the same problem, but unfortunately I can't rename the NTFS drives because they're read-only and I don't have a Windows machine laying around that I can use to rename them.

Here is the log of my attempt to use ntfs.sh

➜  ~  sudo ntfs.sh

Initialize a NTFS Hard Disk on this system to read and write
Next time you won't need to initialize it again. Just plug and open but
take into account that:

* Configured disks will not be auto-opened!!
* You will need to open /Volumes and click on your disk!!

* Although it should not happen anything wrong, use at your own risk

* IMPORTANT!!. Be sure that the NTFS device has been safely removed or it won't
be mounted in write mode. In this case you can connect it again to any windows PC,
remove safely, and then connect to your MAC

* Also IMPORTANT!!. To avoid problems use SHORT names for the Volume names, 
NO SPACES, and preferably only letters/numbers. Of course no special characters!!

Now you are ready....
SELECT a NTFS Disk to initialize on this system
Write quit to exit

1) /Volumes/Big Drive              5) /Volumes/Macintosh HD
2) /Volumes/Data               6) /Volumes/Seagate Expansion Drive
3) /Volumes/LACIE SHARE            7) /Volumes/Seagate Expansion Drive 1
4) /Volumes/LaCie              8) /Volumes/Time Machine Backups
