Uninstalling OSXFuse clearly removes the ability to mount all EXT linux file systems from the Mac.
Click on “Remove OSXFuse” button and enter the administrator password to remove FUSE from the Mac. Go to System Preferences from the Apple menu and choose “Fuse for OS X”. The easiest way to remove OSXFuse is to use the package control panel: No, it is not the same as mounting an existing EXT file system, but it works if the sole purpose is to read and write data between different operating systems. 
Otherwise, network computers can only use the SMB protocol and share files between Mac OS X, Linux and Windows over a local network connection. This is especially useful for USB sticks and external drives that you want to use for fast storage and sharing of files outside a network. Don’t do this without backupup.īy the way, an alternative for those who want to securely read and write files between OS X and Linux (and Windows for that matter) using an external drive is probably better off formatting a drive for maximum compatibility with the MS-DOS file system, which can be accessed by just about any operating system out there.
Understand that there are significant risks to the drive and that it is quite possible to damage the Linux partition or file system of the drive as a result.
Cross your fingers and hope for the best, this is experimental and not recommended for a reasonĪgain, enabling EXT write support is not recommended. orig /System/Library/Filesystems/fuse-ext2.fs / fuse-ext2.util Sudo sed -e ‘s / OPTIONS = ”auto_xattr, defer_permissions” / OPTIONS = ”auto_xattr, defer_permissions, rw +” ”-i. Restart the Mac, then use the following command string to enable write support:. Download FUSE-EXT2 and install it on MacFUSE. However, if you need to write to a Linux partition from OS X and you have a backup of the data and/or disk in question, and you don’t mind scheduling the data on the disk, you can enable writing to EXT. While OSXFuse adds EXT read support, write support to EXT is disabled by default and is probably not recommended to use at all, it is considered experimental and supported by FUSE for a reason.
