A Rust CLI utility for macOS that mounts any Linux-supported filesystem (ext4, btrfs, xfs, ZFS, NTFS, exFAT, etc.) with full read-write access by running a libkrun microVM that shares the volume over NFS. It supports LUKS, BitLocker, LVM, and Linux RAID without kernel extensions or lowering system security.

Use cases

• mount an ext4 drive on macOS read-write
• access a btrfs disk from a Mac
• open a LUKS-encrypted Linux drive on macOS
• read a BitLocker NTFS drive on a Mac
• mount ZFS volumes on Apple Silicon
• access Linux RAID or LVM disks from macOS
• mount Linux filesystems without disabling SIP or installing kexts

When to choose

• you're on an Apple Silicon Mac and need full read-write access to Linux filesystems
• you need to open LUKS, BitLocker, LVM, or mdadm RAID volumes on macOS
• you can't or won't disable system security or install kernel extensions
• you need to work with raw or qcow2 disk images containing Linux filesystems

When to avoid

• you're on an Intel Mac — only Apple Silicon is supported
• you need low-latency local-disk performance, since volumes appear as network drives
• you need to edit files directly with Microsoft Word on mounted drives
• you can't spare ~256-512 MB RAM per mounted volume
