Fallout 4 save cleaning. To do so, open a Terminal window and do this: Then save the file with the usual Control-O, Enter, Control-X. Finally, unmount and remount (with Disk Utility) your Boot Camp partition. This creates an (invisible from OS X).ntfs-readonly file at the root of your Boot Camp volume, thus telling NTFS-3G to bypass this volume and let it be mounted. Ntfs-3g-2010.10.2-macosx.dmg ️Scanned for malware. Mirror Provided. Learn more about iWeb Technologies. Without going into great deal of technical details and compilation of the source code, I found out users around Internet already came up with binary version (in DMG) of MacFUSE and ntfs-3g, ready to install (credit to ShadowOfGed at AppleNova). Here are the instructions on how to use MacFUSE and NTFS-3G. If so, the reason NTFS-3g won't work is because of MacFUSE, which doesn't work properly in 64 bit, not because of NTFS-3g proper. FWIW, Erik Larsson (IIRC, the developer of the OS X build of NTFS-3g), posted a custom version of MacFUSE that he says should work in Lion (I haven't tried it as I'm running the 32 bit SL kernel and haven't upgraded.

NTFS-3G is a FUSE compliant file system driver that enables write access to NTFS formatted partitions or devices.
I must say that I've been waiting this first stable version for quite a while. This is the first NTFS driver that provides write access to NTFS devices and it is considerate to be a safe one.
NTFS-3G (3rd Generation) is currently safe, but it has an issue. Besides the fact that the mounted NTFS drives won't support the native access rights that were implemented into this file system, and the compression support, the writing speed on this drives is quite slow.

The developer said that you can mount even USB devices that are formatted as NTFS, but in fact this driver makes your hard drive to work with the speed of a slow USB device. The developers of the NTFS-3G driver said that they will fix the performance issues.

The distribution image is quite sweet. If you don't have a FUSE-compliant system installed, then you can find one within this package. You need to install this package first before actually installing the NTFS-3G package.
The NTFS-3G installer did its job for me. I was ready to pull out my *NIX knowledge in order to manually mount the NTFS partition that I have on this test machine after the driver installation, but I rebooted first, even though the package didn't required this. After the reboot I found out that the NTFS partition was mounted as NTFS-3G. This was elegant and headache free. No RTFM (Read The Friendly Manual) required. If this won't work in your case, then you have to read the provided documentation.
Pluses:

Ntfs-3g Git

it enables the write access to NTFS drives, the distribution DMG image makes your life easier because it has all the dependencies, and the install packages automatically configure this driver in order to be ready to use.
Drawbacks / flaws: the writing speed is quite slow, it doesn't support the native NTFS access control lists, the compression capabilities, or the native support for file encryption at file system level.
In conclusion: since this is the first safe NTFS driver for the *NIX family of operating systems, I think that the write speed isn't such a great issue. The driver is under active development, and I think that in time the situation will improve.

Restoring NTFS volume from DMG file with Disk Utility??

Author	Message
Restoring NTFS volume from DMG file with Disk Utility?? I want to restore an NFTS DMG file within Disk Utility, but starting such procedure always ends up with error messages! ('Restore Failure / Could not validate sizes / This process is not allowed') (Last part translated from German, sorry) I have a special triple boot system: - Config: MacBookPro 5,2 17' (Feb 2009) with Leopard / Ubuntu 8.10 / WXP; rEFIt (on Leo) & GRUB (on Ubuntu) installed - 'WinClone' only works for stupidly standard 2-partition stuff of Boot Camp Leo & Win installations - Restore only possible with CopyCatX (CCX) run from Tiger booted, as CCX started on Leopard only restores to images, not physical drives.. - Latest MacBookPros do not boot Tiger!, therefore awfully have to boot from 2nd Intel Mac in target mode.. - NTFS-3G successfully creates DMG files from NTFS partition (even compressed DMG; 11 GB -> 4GB); they can be restored with CopyCatX started from Tiger system on 2nd Intel Mac! > Is there any chance that NTFS-3G could become THAT genius that even a restore with Disk Utility will succeed?? (Please, forget about arguments for VMWare or Parallels - I HAVE to run WXP for hardware flash reasons; also need natively booted Ubuntu for other hardware related reasons ;-) Thanks for considering..

I currently have no idea what we could possibly do to get this working properly. However, if you're able to mount the .dmg file containing your volume backup, you can bypass Disk Utility by using 'dd' from the command line to restore your backup.

OK, I'll check it out with dd whether this is a bug of Disk Utility or a core system issue.. (CarbonCopyCloner CCC can't do such, either, as it is using standard OS X terminal calls) Which dd command line parameters would you suggest for restoring the DMG file into disk0s4 with 11.8 Gi of size? (disk0s3 is the Linux Ubuntu partition) Here is my diskutil list: new-host:~ vk$ diskutil list /dev/disk0 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *298.1 Gi disk0 1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1 2: Apple_HFS VK_Leo 280.0 Gi disk0s2 3: Microsoft Basic Data 6.0 Gi disk0s3 4: Microsoft Basic Data 11.8 Gi disk0s4

Provided that the backup also contains 11.8 GiB of data, first attach the backup disk image: hdiutil attach -nomount your_backup.dmg ..and make note of the /dev/diskXsY number assigned to the attached backup volume. Then, to copy all the data from your backup to the physical drive disk0s4 using a block size of 1 MiB: sudo dd if=/dev/rdiskXsY of=/dev/rdisk0s4 bs=1m ('X' and 'Y' in 'rdiskXsY' should be replaced with the numbers of your attached backup.. also, using rdisk devices instead of disk devices means faster transfer times)

Just have to re-activate rEFIt afterwards, but this - more or less - was the solution. Thanks!
