Accessing ext4 volumes on Mac OS X

Guía para habilitar soporte de volúmenes ext2/ext3/ext4 en Mac OS X usando MacFuse y fuse-ext2.

Due to some hardware issues with my laptop PC, I'm temporarily moving from Ubuntu to Mac OS X. But first, I need to move all my files to this Mac machine. For different reasons I don't want USB external drives with NTFS, so I formatted my external drive as ext4. This is a small HOW-TO for enabling ext2/ext3/ext4 drives on your Mac.

Note: I did this on a G5 with Mac OS X v10.4.11.

Step 1

Install MacFuse from http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/

Step 2

Install http://alperakcan.org/?open=projects&project=fuse-ext2

Step 3

Enjoy.
