Issues with mounting my external drive on osx lion

[mkornegay2]

I am having trouble mounting my Linux partitioned hard drive on osx Lion. I am able to see "initialize" the drive in Disk Utility. I downloaded and installed the latest OSX Fuse 2.4.2 and the Fuse-ext2. The are both running and up to date.
When I use to click on the partition in Disk Utility it showed both as being Linux, now it show them as being "Fuse ext2" partitions. I still cannot mount these event when I right click and choose "mount drive" from the context menu. Is there something
I'm doing wrong or not doing? I have restart my computer to no avail. I just want to copy my data from my ext. hd to my local hd to back it up so I can format my ext. hard drive. Any suggestions?

Once you have installed OSXFUSE (with MacFUSE compatibility layer option checked) and fuse-ext2 and rebooted your Mac, any ext2/3 volume should be mounted automatically, shortly after it is attached.

Please note, that FUSE volumes do not show up in Finder's sidebar under Devices in case of OS X 10.7. To access a mounted FUSE volume open Finder, then select "Computer" (Shift+CMD+C) in the "Go To" menu. If your volume does not show up you might want to try to mount it manually in Terminal. There might be some helpful error message as to why it does not work.

What do you mean the go to menu? How do I mount in terminal? I know to enter "mount", but what about the drive name and partition?

I meant Finder's "Go" menu in the menu bar. Just open Finder an press Shift+CMD+C.

To find out the device identifier of your volume, open Terminal and execute the following command:

diskutil list

You should be able to mount the volume manually by adapting the following commands:

mkdir /Volumes/myextdrive
/usr/local/bin/fuse-ext2 /dev/disk2s1 /Volumes/myextdrive

where /dev/disk2s1 is the device identifier.

Well I did what you said in Terminal, but I don't see where it did anything. It said it "failed to access". The same error I get in Disk Utility. I was really hoping I wasn't going
to have to 'buy' a program.

Is there any other way?

This is what I got with the Terminal:

Basically this is doing what Disk Utility is already trying to do. I get the same responses in both scenarios.

You need to run /usr/local/bin/fuse-ext2 ... with sudo in front. Try again with:

sudo /usr/local/bin/fuse-ext2 /dev/disk2s2 /Volumes/myextdrive

This is what I got:

matt-kornegays-computer:~ mattkornegay$ sudo /usr/local/bin/fuse-ext2 /dev/disk2s2 /Volumes/myextd
rive
Password:

fuse-ext2: version:'0.0.7', fuse_version:'27' [main (../../fuse-ext2/fuse-ext2.c:324)]

This is not a OSXFUSE-related. Maybe you need to ask this question on the fuse-ext2 mailing list/forum. It seems that fuse-ext2 cannot handle your volume. If you google for fuse-ext2 and return code 2133571347 you get some hits.

I will look into it.

I just wanted to say thank you. This worked for me.

[Joel Hansen]

I received the same probe error. I re-ran appending 'sudo' to the beginning of the statement and it worked fine.

sudo fuse-ext2 -o force /dev/disk2s1 /Volumes/directory_name

Hope that helps.
