Ext3 on Mac OSX Lion

Posted Over 12 years ago. Visible to the public.

To be able to read ext3 formatted disks on Mac OSX Lion (10.7) you need to install a current FUSE implementation (macFUSE is discontinued, but there are several newer projects):

Then, you need to install the filesystem itself. The fuse-ext2 is just right (and supports ext3 as well):

fuse-ext2 Show archive.org snapshot

After installing both packages you should be able to plug-in a ext3 formatted linux disk and it should show up in your finder (read-only).
