You can read/write on ext2, ext3 and ext4 partitions. To unmount the disk : sudo umount /Volumes/raspberry Now you can read/copy the ext4 partition files from/to your Mac! Mount the SD Card sudo ext4fuse /dev/disk2s2 /Volumes/raspberry -o allow_other Create a mount point sudo mkdir /Volumes/raspberryĥ. Install osxfuse and ext4fuse : brew cask install osxfuseĢ.
Open your terminal and install Homebrew (skip this step if you already have Homebrew installed): /usr/bin/ruby -e '$(curl -fsSL )' In order to read this particular filesystem, FUSE for Mac OS ( osxfuse) and ext4fuse ( read-only) need to be installed. Download and install Raspberry Pi Imager to a computer with an SD card reader. The SD card contains a Raspbian image which has two partitions : The first one is a FAT16 (boot partition) and the second one is an ext4, which contains the Raspbian OS.Įxt4 journaling file system is unfortunately not readable on macOS by default. Transferring large files through your local network can take a lot of time comparing to directly mount the micro SD card on your Mac.
