Has anyone considered making a fuse file system for the Linux file
system ext3.  As far as I can tell this does not exist, probably
because Linux people have no need for it.  But for Mac people it would
be incredibly useful.  It would allow reading (and hopefully writing)
to the ext3 file systems that are on Linux boxes (or more likely on
external drives that you want to use on Linux).  Right now there is no
good way to do this.  There is an old Sourceforge (http://
sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx) project that allows ext3 file
systems to be mounted on the Mac but it appears to be dead, and has
not been updated for Leopard (or even for later versions of Tiger I
think).  Since ext3 is Free Software, all the source is readily
available which should make producing a Fuse module out of it much
easier.  People have made the ntfs-3g fuse module without having the
source, this would seem much easier.  I know the Free Software way
would be for me to do this myself, but I lack the knowledge to attack
this.

Thanks,
Bob
