Get tooled upįirstly, I’d like to say that this is an entirely newbie friendly tutorial, however on this occasion, it’s all work at the Terminal. I have been using this tool for a number of weeks on my ‘Mojave’ macOS computer and it works well. The driver’s associated mount tool will also not perform transparent LZFSE decompression. The upshot of this is that no data can be damaged by any bugs that may exist in this experimental software. Unfortunately, at least for now, you are limited to read-only access. Note that this driver is not part of your Linux distribution and you will have to build it from source code. How do I get it working?įor the newer APFS users, fortunately, you can now use a driver called apfs-fuse to access your mac’s APFS disk.

Check out our comprehensive guide on using Linux on a mac on how to mount your HFS+ partition as read/write. If you have any version of macOS prior ot 10.3 (High Sierra), then your mac will be using HFS +. All of which is never a good thing when you are working on the systems that look after the integrity of your files! Apple aren’t going to be documenting or open sourcing APFS any time soon by the looks of it.įor those of you that use Linux on a mac and still have a need to access your files on the Mac partition of your hard drive on occasion then you may find it a challenge. Apple haven’t shared the API, so it relies on people to do an extent of guesswork, detailed research and some reverse engineering. If they had made that platform agnostic, meaning that people on Windows, Android and maybe even Linux/Web platforms could use it, then it is arguable that FaceTime would have taken much of the market share from the likes of Skype. Even when this could negatively impact their business.
