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.
