Hi all,
My Linux box is currently in the shop. (See my previous emails.) This means my only computer at home is a MacBook Pro running macOS Ventura. I've got a backup of my Linux box on an external USB drive.
The Linux box has been unavailable for over a week now and there are a few files I'd like to access from the backup. Unfortunately, the drive is formatted as ext4, which macOS doesn't support natively.
One suggestion I found was to install a third party all called macFUSE, then install a package called ext4fuse using homebrew. I got macFUSE installed, but ext4fuse is refusing to install:
% brew install ext4fuse
Running `brew update --auto-update`...
==> Auto-updated Homebrew!
Updated 1 tap (homebrew/core).
Error: ext4fuse has been disabled because it requires closed-source macFUSE!
I'm wondering if anyone has managed to get this to work?
Walt
