Mac extfs error bad gd5/15/2023 ![]() Is anyone else using ExtFS for OS X to successfully mount a partition >= 2TB automatically? I'm still wondering if that's the cause of the problem I'm seeing. So, some progress in that I can now successfully mount the partition from the command line (thanks again), but it would be nice for the ExtFS to be able to detect and mount the drive automatically. I've double checked under Linux and the filesystem type is definitely ext3. A subsequent umount also took several minutes to complete but eventually did so. I can then look through the files on the mounted partition and things look good. ![]() The first time I issued the df command there was a long pause of about a minute. I've downloaded the trial version of the software, installed it and rebooted my iMac (running OS X 10.6.5), but when I connect the drive it still isn't recognised. dev/disk1s3 801Gi 445Gi 356Gi 56% /Volumes/Backups I'm looking at using ExtFS for Mac OS X 8.0 as a possible solution for accessing an ext3 filesystem on an external USB drive. dev/disk2s1 on /Volumes/TEST (ufsd_ExtFS, local)įilesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on dev/disk1s3 on /Volumes/Backups (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled) dev/disk1s2 on /Volumes/Bootable (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled) Map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse) Map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse) dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled) $ sudo mount_ufsd_EXTFS /dev/disk2s1 /Volumes/TEST So simple mount fails, but continuing on and using mount_ufsd_EXTFS is more interesting: I'm wondering if I've hit a limitation on the size of partitions as this is a single partition on a 2TB drive.Ĭonfirmation that this isn't going to work with the current version of ExtFS would be useful, but I'm also happy to provide additional information, test out any suggestions and report back results if that would help anyone. I'm pretty sure the the ExtFS software is installed because if I select the partition within Disk Utility and click on the Erase tab, one of the options under the Format pulldown is Extended Filesystem. The drive was partitioned using an MBR scheme which is detected by Disk Utility. The drive shows up in Disk Utility but the single partition on the drive is greyed out. The external drive works fine when connected to a Linux machine and I can successfully do an fsck on the drive using the Macports version of e2fsprogs. I'm looking at using ExtFS for Mac OS X 8.0 as a possible solution for accessing an ext3 filesystem on an external USB drive.
