The file system EXT (abbreviation for Total File System) and family members, EXT2, EXT3 and EXT4 are the file systems used by Linux.
Mac users working with multiple platforms may notice that OSX is unable to mount EXT partitions by itself and therefore anyone who wants to ride and read EXT drives or other file systems will have to rely on a third-party utility.
OS X Fuse is one of them. An offer open source which allows OS X to read EXT volumes and if the user dares, it can even be enabled an experimental writing function on that EXT partition.
The application can be downloaded directly and for free from the developer page, and after its installation you will be able to access its configuration through the System preferences. Once the application is installed, we restart the system and we are ready to connect units with EXT file extensions from the world of Linux on your Mac.
Keep in mind that the application guarantees you can read and copy files from that drive and not write to that drive, since that option is still in the experimental phase.
Note that when EXT drives are mounted with FUSE, the volumes are interpreted as network drives or servers, so if you have hidden desktop or connected servers icons hidden in Finder preferences, the system won't see them except in the sidebar in the Finder window.
You systematically copy the articles published in OSXDaily shortly after their publication, many will find it great to have them in Spanish, but is it so difficult to mention the source? That would show a minimum of respect for someone else's work that you take advantage of regularly. Greetings.
Good Jordi,
Everything or almost everything is explained on the net and surely there are articles on this subject that are not written by OS X Daily and they explain the same thing even before that great website. I respect but do not share your opinion regarding the sources, since if an article I work with my images and my own text, I do not have to cite any source, and this is what I see in Pedro's article that he himself It has been worked, should we add as a source all the articles that we find on the internet with the same topic?
If the tutorial were copied and translated literally from another web page, it would be unethical to publish it without citing the source, but this is not the case.
regards
