I’ve never seen that error. What did you format your drive with? I formatted my drive on an ubuntu machine with ext3 filesystem. Give me some specs on what your using and running. Let’s get this thing figured out!

I get that same exact error, like this:

fuse-ext2 /dev/disk1 /Volumes/extdrive/ -o force
fuse-ext2: version:’0.0.7′, fuse_version:’27′ [main (../../fuse-ext2/fuse-ext2.c:324)]
fuse-ext2: enter [do_probe (../../fuse-ext2/do_probe.c:30)]
fuse-ext2: Error while trying to open /dev/disk1 (rc=2133571364) [do_probe (../../fuse-ext2/do_probe.c:34)]
fuse-ext2: Probe failed [main (../../fuse-ext2/fuse-ext2.c:340)]

–

The disk is precisely the correct one (/dev/disk1) I can even hear it power on, spin up etc read it. And then the error comes.

So far I have read through about 20 forums, none of them offer any help help regarding this.

The disk is an old 40GB Ubuntu ext2 disk from around 2003 or so. From a dead laptop that died and would not power on. Some valuable data still on it, and no PC’s around to read it either..

Any help would be great – so far this problem seems to beyond the forum’s ability to solve.

Mark :
I have MAC OS X – 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard)
I installed: MacFUSE first
Then installed: fuse-ext2
See first post for details. Then I just plugged in my ext3 USB drive, powered it up and it mounted automatically in /Volumes.
This was a great surprise – No unix commands into terminal necessary.

Same for me just loaded up MacFuse then fuse-ext2 and bingo now my server backup USB just appears on the desktop. Really. Thanks heaps to who ever was involved in creating this.

Second: I’ve also struck Gnorkie’s problem, and I believe it is caused by a socket timeout.
The journaling system is different for ext3 and hfs+, thus each time a disk is remounted
on the “other” OS, the journal is rebuilt. Or maybe something else is happening?
An awful lot of disk thrashing can be heard for up to two minutes before mount fails.
Manual mount after that time is almost instant.

P’raps I should explain, I want a dual boot system, MacOS 10.6.2 + Ubuntu 9.10,
with a common shared Home on a separate volume, same disk, plus a large disk
for multimedia editing work. Home at present is a 150G partition on the common
boot disk, with ~50,000 files. It works, but… Also some people may be annoyed at
having to run a shell script every time (mount + unmount) for removable media.

Here is the errore I get when trying to mount
(before I’ve unmounted the disks with disk manager)
