With FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) you can.įUSE mimics the kernel’s handling of file systems and allows OS X to both interact with unsupported formats and use many other storage routines, some of which are rather creative. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t occasions when you’d want to use one of them. Formats such as Ext3 for Linux systems are not readable, and NTFS can’t be written to.
It can do this because the file systems are supported by the OS X kernel. Mac OS X supports a handful of common file systems-HFS+, FAT32, and exFAT, with read-only support for NTFS.
