A read-only ext4 filesystem implementation for FUSE, written in C. Its primary purpose is mounting and reading Linux ext4 partitions from macOS, though it works on any FUSE-capable platform.
Use cases
- read ext4 linux partition from mac
- mount linux disk on osx
- access ext4 files without booting linux
- recover files from a linux drive on mac
- mount ext4 read-only safely
- view linux partition contents from freebsd
When to choose
- you need to read ext4 partitions from macOS or another non-Linux FUSE platform
- you want a safe, read-only mount with no risk of corrupting the filesystem
- you prefer a lightweight C tool installable via Homebrew or ports
When to avoid
- you need to write to ext4 partitions - it is strictly read-only
- you need ext2/ext3 or other filesystem support
- you need an actively developed project - releases have been infrequent
