Mount a Windows NTFS r/w + Ext4 Linux volume on big sur / ventura


5 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

- Install fuse-4.4.1 (reboot)

 

- Install homebrew https://brew.sh/

 

- Type in terminal:

brew install --cask macfuse
brew install --formula --build-from-source ./ext4fuse.rb

 

- Edit the linux.sh set path to your linux disk

- chmod +x linux.sh (to fix running permission)

 

The disk will show up in your desktop

 

you can also use script editor with this code (fix path first):

do shell script "/usr/local/bin/ext4fuse -o allow_other,defer_permissions /dev/disk1s2 /Volumes/Linux" with administrator privileges

 

ext4fuse.rb fuse-4.4.1.dmg linux.sh

Got some issues installing ntfs r/w on big sur so i'll share what is working

 

- You need to install fuse (read 1st post)

 

- install https://github.com/gromgit/homebrew-fuse/releases/tag/ntfs-3g-mac-2022.10.3

requires use brew install gettext

 

- Use mounty to mount ntfs r/w from https://mounty.app

 

nb: this driver is very slow

on ventura I've done this for ext4/nfs:

 

- Install fuse-4.4.1 (reboot).  goto sys prefs - security - make sure you accept the app permissions + kext permission

 

- install attach to your OS X boot disk

- install mounty

Thanks for sharing! I just wanted to add some more info I find useful. While your method is definitely one way to go, another option is to use tools that allow full read-write access to NTFS drives on Mac without needing complex configurations. They integrate smoothly with macOS, allowing you to work with NTFS drives as you would with native Mac-formatted drives. You can check out this article on how to use NTFS on Mac. It covers various methods and tools that make NTFS compatibility on Mac way easier. Again, thanks for your contribution, and I hope this additional information will also help someone.
