Comment on Mounting ext3 in Snow Leopard… by Gnorkie

Just installing MacFuse and fuse-ext2 I get the disks for reading only, not for writing. They are ext3, formatted with the Popcorn Hour A-110 network media tank.

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

theres something up with your installation of fuse. Are you running Snow Leopard?

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.

Wow, this is great I’ve been looking for a way to mount ext2/ext3 disks on MacOS X. I have backup disks attached to a Linksys NSLU2. I always worry about how I would recover the files if the server went kaput. Now I can just attach the USB drives to my Mac.

BTW, when I attached the USB drive, the Snow Leopard Finder immediately mounted the disks as read-only. So, I figured out the name of the disk (disk3s1 in this case) without using “disktool -l”. To mount the disk r/w, I ejected the disk using the Finder and mounted as above using “-o force”.

Never mind! It probably isn’t the most elegant solution but it does what I want.

I wrote a little shell script and with the help of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2420?viewlocale=en_US made it work.

For anybody else who is reading this my shell script looks like this:

umount /dev/disk0s6
mkdir /Volumes/Ubuntu
/usr/local/bin/fuse-ext2 /dev/disk0s6 /Volumes/Ubuntu -o volname=Ubuntu,force
