What is Reddit's opinion of macFUSE?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

> you want locally stored backups you're better off backing up to your computer and then moving the backup file to your home server

Or, you could just plug a hard drive into your network and use Apple's Time Machine.

If you want to use an external server, you can do so by mounting the remote drive using fuse and set the remote drive up as a Time Machine partition.

Your Linux drive is likely formatted with a filesystem that macOS does not support out of the box. You’ll need to install extra software to read the drive.

MacFUSE should be able to do it, assuming your Linux drive is using one of the supported filesystems (EXT or XFS). But installing it and using it might require some technical know-how. I don’t remember how much, it’s been a while.

Ok. I will try my best to have it make sense.

First go here https://osxfuse.github.io/ and download sshfs and fuse. You can do this using ssh over wifi, but I typically connect with a cable and use something like itunnel or usbmuxd to connect ssh over usb. Its your choice. Once you have that stuff installed, open Terminal to get the phone mounted. I will explain it if you use itunnel (https://code.google.com/p/iphonetunnel-usbmuxconnectbyport/downloads/list)

This creates the tunnel over usb. Change to the itunnel directory and run this:

tlnr --iport 22 -lport 2222

This will create a mount point and mount the data mount point on from the phone

mkdir /Volumes/phone/ && sshfs -p 2222 :/private/var /Volumes/phone/

Now, download Omnidisksweeper from here https://www.omnigroup.com/more/ and you should see it as a selectable volume. If you choose to use wifi, skip the step to make the tunnel and the sshfs mount command will be

mkdir /Volumes/phone/ && sshfs root@YOUR_PHONES_IP:/private/var /Volumes/phone/

Hope this helps, its saved me from restoring many times, finding some old cache file that it get deleted properly or something. Good luck.

Edit: I just realized I forgot something. You have to run all of these commands with sudo, otherwise you won't have access to all the folders on the device. This includes launching Omnidisksweeper from terminal with sudo. This isn't the best way to do it, maybe slightly dangerous, but it works.

pCloud is really good but on macOS it requires you to run a file system integration layer, macFuse https://osxfuse.github.io/ , and it bugged me a few times (filenames that couldn't sync for instance). That was a while ago and probably doesn't apply to Windows users.

I don’t believe Mac by default can see Linux partitions.

https://osxfuse.github.io/

If it was set to backup it should be on the drive. If the drive isn’t damaged.

It may have to do a fsck on the partition.

a quick google search suggests that MacOS doesn't support nbd - the guys at irc://irc.freenode.net/ 's #macdev suggests it might be possible to use osxfuse instead of nbd, and the guys at #mac said i might be able to use iSCSI instead of nbd

a iSCSI port sounds easier to me than a fuse port, but either way, it seems that porting this to OSX will be non-trivial :( (because OSX doesn't support nbd, which is the main component i'm using to implement the virtual harddrive on linux)

FUSE is an open-source tool that lets your Mac work with 3rd-party file systems. It's installed by applications that need to access a non-Mac OS file system. Examples include:

• virtualization software like Parallels
• cloud storage applications
• network file system clients like SSHFS

Have you installed anything like that lately?

When I want to work over SFTP, I don't go through Sublime at all. You can use sshfs to mount a drive over SSH. On Linux this requires FUSE, on Mac OSXFUSE. If you're on Windows then I can't help you, sorry. ;-)

I use FUSE for OS X and NTFS-3G. NTFS-3G requires a bit of knowledge about the command line (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)

It's not the fastest implementation (slower transfer speeds compared to commercial products) but it works.

I just got it working, here's what I did:

1. Download and Install MacFuse https://code.google.com/p/macfuse/

2. Download and Install SSHFS https://osxfuse.github.io/

3. Open Terminal

4. type "sudo mkdir /Volumes/iPhone" (no quotes, it will ask for a password too)

5. type "sshfs root@<YouriPhoneIP>:/ /Volumes/iPhone/" (again, no quotes and replace <YouriPhoneIP> with your iPhone's IP)

6. Open Disk Inventory X and select your iPhone

I tried installing fuse then reinstalling keybase, using fuse 4.2.1 and 4.2.3. Also tried playing with symbolic links in /library/filesystems/kbfuse.fs/contents/extensions. Can't mimic your success, unfortunately.

rsync would be the one I'd go for but if it absolutely, positively has to be ftp then I'd look at OS X Fuse and mount the ftp servers on the OS. Then I'd go and use rsync to manage copying the files...

Update: I fixed by follow solutions:

1/ Remove pCloud

2/ Re-install MacFUSE at: 

Home - macFUSE (osxfuse.github.io) (MacFUSE 4.1.0)

3/Then Re-Install newest pCloud for Mac M1.

Everything work well after that.

=> The problem was MacFUSE error.

Also, when I try opening the sideloader, it says
ERROR

&#x200B;

Something is wrong, the drive mount seems to be missing or empty.

if you report this at www.github.com/whitewhidow/quest-sideloader-linux, I will be happy to help

&#x200B;

You can still use 'sideload-gui' to sideload apps you have manually downloaded

&#x200B;

[NOTE] Since are on OSX, make sure you have OSXFUSE installed.

run 'brew cask install osxfuse' or go to https://osxfuse.github.io/ (this requires reboot, which is why we dont automate this)

Paragon is the best software I've tested. I got it quite cheap in one of those mac software bundles. You could just get the paragon software and use there 7 day trial an reformat it with disk utility to FAT. So your mac can read and write on it in the future. OSX fuse would be a good free alternative to paragon NTFS. https://osxfuse.github.io/

ELI5: You don't need a PhD, you just need a graphical editor, because the clipboard is a feature of your graphical interface.

Consider using FUSE to treat your remote Ubuntu system like a file server, and then use whatever OS X editor you like:

https://osxfuse.github.io/

Install FUSE for MacOS. Per the Mac Fuse wiki, ensure you install compatibility layer during during installation.

https://osxfuse.github.io/

Then install EXT Fuse for Mac.

https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/wiki/Ext

I would strongly advise against enabling write support in your instance. If the SD is causing issues, writing to it could cause more damage.

At least for circa-3.x disks, you would need to install MacFuse and AncientFS:

https://osxbook.com/software/ancientfs/

I've used this approach to mount dd'd images of NextStep 3.x disks.

Nowadays, it looks like MacFuse has been superseded by:

https://osxfuse.github.io

No idea of the AncientFS system still works with it...

Yes, macOS can read and write NTFS drives - I’ve not done it in awhile so can’t confirm if it’s native or via the FUSE extension. I’m fairly certain reading is native to the OS but to write you need to install an extension. The easy solution would be paragon file system link however if you don’t mind fiddling there’s FUSE that is open source and can yet you read/write to more than just full NTFS read/write.

I wouldn’t be worried about the keyboard and suggest get the newest device you like and can afford. The older the device the shorter the lifetime of the hardware you have from Apple for the OS. e.g I think you’ll have to have to have a 2015/16 or newer model to support the upcoming features in Catalina.

I have three 2018 MacBook Pros in my household and as an actual user of impacted models - the keyboard issue is highly overrated IMO. Is it a problem? Possibly, but given that two of these go into the school war zone daily where dust and crumbs would be an ideal target for these - neither have experienced problems.

We have another 20 or so Butterfly Generation versions in my office at work I’ve yet to hear of a keyboard issue.

Apple has never revealed numbers on how widespread the issue really is - you basically got a bunch of high profile “influencers” that made enough noise to the point you’d believe every device experiences this problem. So Apple put a repair program in place to deal with it.

TBH I like the feeling of the butterfly keyboard. It is apparently going away this fall - so there will likely be some new design in its place. If you can wait out a few months (like October timeframe probably) the version with the redesigned yet again keyboard should be available if you’re that concerned.

You probably have other avenues, but the ext4 partition on the sd card with your files is hassos-data and the directory is /mnt/data/supervisor/. Inside that you'll find your default directories (homeassistant (which is /config), share, ssl, etc).

To read the partition you'll need third party software like https://osxfuse.github.io/ Or for windows, https://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/

I mailed them about both back in December. For both of these issues they told me to reinstall FUSE for macOS manually. That suggestion did nothing to address either defect.

I tried mailing about both again the other day. They sent back the same suggestion.

• If it launches at Startup but another program launches before it which displays a window, pCloud kills Finder but doesn't restart it again. I have to manually relaunch Finder each time I start my machine or prevent one of two other programs from running at startup.

• The option to disable Finder integration doesn't actually disable Finder integration. It still adds hooks that cause Finder to occasionally hang in callbacks to pDrive.

• It installs and relies on the FUSE framework for its filesystem implementation, but does not play well with other programs that may have installed FUSE (eg., Parallels or ExpanDrive) unless they use the exact same version of FUSE. pDrive should install its own isolated copy, or it should be fixed to be compatible with newer versions of FUSE.

• It doesn't properly control the size of what appear to be its cache files, sometimes chewing dozens of extra gigabytes of drive space.

You don't necessarily need rEFInd, but you may have to set up an entry for MacOS in GRUB. You can usually hold down option while booting to get to the firmware boot loader. If there is another bootable system, it should show up there. rEFInd makes it easier, but keep in mind that many MacOS system updates will reset the boot order, making it boot straight into MacOS. GRUB updates usually do the same thing for Mint.

You can mount an ext4 partition from MacOS, but you will need some custom software. I use ext4fuse and osxfuse.

I'm almost certain that iOS has TRIM, and if that's the case there is nothing to recover.

&nbsp;

In any case, one way to mount the drive is over SFTP.

On mac, download fuse and sshfs from here.

Now open Terminal.app and type the following command:

sudo sshfs root@deviceIP:/ /path/to/empty/folder/to/mount/to

You can replace root with mobile.

Edit: openSSH is required on the iPhone.

Sounds like they're messing with the eject process in some way. When you say "Tuxera NTFS", I'm assuming you're talking about their commercial product. Give NTFS-3G (the open-source version) a try with FUSE for OS X. I've been using them for years with no problems.

They rely on osxfuse for the underpinnings. https://osxfuse.github.io/

I believe it has been updated to support 10.11.

El Capitan has that new rootless mode though -- I'm not sure how it will affect it. If you disable that first then try it will probably work.

Yosemite will work for sure.

I'm not to sure about that. (EXT4). I don't have my mac in front of me at the moment, but what I would suggest is plugging in an external drive then opening the Mac tool "Disk Utility" and select "Erase" - don't actually do the erase, just check out the dialog box. It will list the file systems OS X natively supports.

Alternatively, take a look at OSXFuse (https://osxfuse.github.io/) and NTFS-3G (https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/wiki/NTFS-3G)
