Ubuntu / Apple :: Mount EXT2/3 In Mac OS X 10.6 ?

I wanted to access my Ubuntu partitions on my OS X side.

First things first, I downloaded MacFuse from: [url] Then, I went to [url]

And got their software. From there I mounted the .DMG files and ran the installers. I was able to get all of the software installed and running with no reboot required. Then I loaded the MacFuse control panel, enabled beta, and updated. NOTE: I am unsure if you need the beta for this to work as I did not try without it! Upon the completion of the update, I fired up terminal.

Now, I needed to know exactly which partition my /home/ was located on, so I typed:

Code:

From this, and my basic knowledge of how I setup my Ubuntu partitions, I was able to tell that my 68 GB disk, disk0s4, was my Ubuntu /Home. Then I created a directory in my /Volumes folder to mount the EXT partition to by typing:

Code:

Now that I knew what the disk was and had the all software installed, all I needed to do was mount disk0s4. This is accomplished with:

Code:

Then, I went into the Finder and saw a volume on the left side of the window called "disk0s4". In there are all my files from my home directory of Ubuntu that I can easily access. Great success!

The system that all of this was done on is a Dell Min 10v dual booting between OS X 10.6.6 and Ubuntu 10.10.
