Mar 20, 2014 By the way, an alternative for those who wish to safely read and write files between OS X and Linux (and Windows for that matter) by using an external drive are probably better off formatting a drive for maximum compatibility with the MS-DOS file system, which can be accessed by just about every operating system out there. This is particularly. OS X cannot natively read the popular Ext2 and Ext3 filesystems, though support for these filesystems can be implemented if needed. FUSE has been available for OS X in the MacFUSE project, but. Fuse-ext2 is a ext2 filesystem (ext2fs/ext3fs) support for mac os x, with both read and write support. Fuse-ext2 is written for mounting linux ext2 filesystem from mac osx (macfuse ext2), since source is os independent you can use it on unix distros. And of course fuse-ext2 works on linux (fuse ext2), also if anyone needs such thing;). 私はそれを試していないが、 MacFUSE OSXFuse plus fuse-ext2 が動作するはずです。 27 追加された 10 10月 2009 〜で 07:17 著者 Ferruccio. FUSE for macOS 3.10.6 - Extend native file handling in OS X (was OSXFUSE). Download the latest versions of the best Mac apps at safe and trusted MacUpdate. Ext2 filesystem in user space, with an available experimental Mac OS X package (from the author of NTFS-3G/Mac). Both these projects, however, don't seem to be developed any more. Enter fuse-ext2, a new similar project which indeed does work with recent distros, both in Mac OS X 10.4.x and 10.5.x, on Intel and PowerPC machines. It also works.

There is another alternative: ExtFS from Paragon Software.
I've bought their NTFS file system for Mac OS and found it solid.
Paragon appears to have a lot of experience on the Windows side already, so their FS drivers are well tested in that regard.
They offer a 10 day trial, and it's not expensive, either.

While I have tried neither, Paragon nor fuse-ext2, I think $39,95 is expensive. In my time on the mac I came across multiple ntfs drives, but only one with ext. I did use an Ubuntu live cd that one time to access the drive. The 5 minutes to reboot is still cheaper than paying $40 ...
I did try Paragons NTFS driver once (which is cheaper btw) and compared it with the MacFuse ntfs-3g driver. While I had no complains about Paragons solution, I had none about nfts-3g either. So I did stick with ntfs-3g, nothing beats free. So I'm looking forward to a free solution for an exotic problem, which does not justify paying money (at least not for most of us).

I find the easiest and most reliable way to access linux ext3 partitions on my mac is to run Ubuntu in a vmware virtual machine on the mac. Once running you can connect Ubuntu to the ext3 drive via usb, and this way you can get complete reliability reading and writing to ext3 file systems. It's fast because the disk is directly connected to the mac, unlike on a network. And you can use it to copy files very quickly to/from the mac host by using shared directories or any number of other ways.
Fuse For Os X Ext2 Version

. you cannot use Fusion's VMDKMounter to mount
an ext3/LVM .vmdk virtual disk;
and, any other solution -- if it exists --
has nothing to do with Fusion.
So in the context of using Fusion's VMDKMounter
to mount an ext3/LVM virtual disk
it is not doable, as it is with a Windows NTFS or
FAT32 formated .vmdk virtual hard disk .
. In theory all you have to do is
find a MacFUSE filesystem plugin that handles ext3.
There's an experimental one,
but I don't think it's stable .
if you had vmware workstation for pc ...

. add USB controller to the VM
and plug in the external drive after the VM starts to boot;
or,
add it as a physical disk to the VM
(thats the advanced option in the add disk wizard) .

Fuse-ext2 is a EXT2 Filesystem support for FUSE.
. there are no known bugs for read-only mode.
although, write support is available (and it is pretty stable)
please do not mount your filesystems with write support
unless you do not have anything to lose.
