Posting this here for the sake of documentation, but maybe there are other easier way to do it. Use CCC to clone my 25GB Tiger partition I still had from the 60GB disk image, to that empty 28GB HFS+ partition. I had that 28GB empty HFS+ mounted on the desktop. Legacy MacFUSE file systems are supported through the. I have tried MacFuse: It does not see or mount the drive. As a user, installing the macFUSE software package will let you use any third-party FUSE file system. I know ext4 is the most popular, but this hard drive is from a few years ago, and may be something else. Reboot the MacBookPro in SnowLeo (that one has triple install 10.6/Debian/Window7, very handy). So you could boot any PC with a live Linux distro or set up Linux in a VM on your Mac. I dont know what exact file system is used on that drive. Use GParted to erase both the 25GB HFS+ Tiger partition and the 4GB empty space, and reformate both into a single HFS+ partition, not touching at all the Linux, Swap, yaboot partitions that are at the beginning of the ssd. Connect it via FireWire to a MacBookPro running Debian. Only way I managed to have all these 28GB for my Tiger partition was to : And GParted can format to HFS+ but CAN'T expand an HFS+ partition. exFAT is a Microsoft proprietary format, not the same as FAT32 - its optimized for flash drives. The image being copied block by block (dd), apparently Disk Utility sees that Tiger partition as being on a 60GB disk, while there is still 4GB empty, nor did it agree to format that partition. Macs can mount NTFS as read-only if I recall, without third party SW - with MacFuse, one can mount EXT4, and theres experimental support for write on EXT4, but its spooky, and better not to enable that. ![]() Disk Utility doesn't want to do it, nor GParted in Linux. If are not comfortable with vi or dont have a good text editor like vscode, sublime text, etc. ![]() ![]() So I thought booting the Ti in target mode connected again to the MBP, I could expand the HFS+ Tiger partition on that empty 4GBs. So I had a 25GB size Tiger partition and 4GB empty space at the end of the ssd partitions table. Postlab utilizes macFUSE to connect to Drive's cloud storage, making it behave like a local network mount on your Mac. So I cloned the hd disk image on the ssd, all went fine, Ti booted fine on both Tiger and Debian.īut. Please add '-o ro' if you want to open the file system image in read-only mode, or '-o. Caveat: ext4 support is not advertised in their documentation, and attempts to mount come with a warning: This is experimental code, opening rw a real file system could be dangerous for your data. Well well, it was a longer journey than I thought it would be. fuseext2 apparently will mount ext4 partitions read-write.
