There are several fuse filesystems that can handle ext partitions. ext2fuse is one of them. A good news that ext2fuse has been added to Homebrew recently. To install it just run 'brew install ext2fuse' Then you need to mount the partition. I've never did it but there are few tutorials in the Web that can help you. Here is one of them http://www.ericwingate.com/2009/09/27/mounting-ext3-in-snow-leopard/ here is quote from it: --QUOTE-- Heres some useful information if you dont understand my syntax: $ fuse-ext2 <device|image> <mountpoint> [-o option[,...]] options: ro : mount read only force: mount read/write allow_others: allow other users to access debug: noisy debug output > > Thank you! > > > On Thursday, February 16, 2012 6:07:12 PM UTC-5, Anatol Pomozov wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I am glad to announce a new release of Fuse4X.
