Error message is empty

[dgrcode]

I'm using fuse-ext2 with OSX fuse (v 3.6.3). The command fuse-ext2 --version returned fuse-ext2 0.0.9 29 [...].

The command /usr/local/bin/fuse-ext2 -v /dev/path /mnt/point -o debug doesn't return anything.

FUSE-EXT2 could not mount /dev/disk2/disk2s1 at /Users/daniel/mnt because the following problem occurred:

I'm trying to use as external hdd a dsik that I was using as main hdd in a Linux laptop.

I have the same problem with macOS 10.13. Here are the logs from /var/log/fuse-ext2_util.log:

Is this broken in new macOS High Sierra? why Apple? why?.

I got the same problem too. (10.12)

There is any printed, and got error code 252 from tty.

# qinka @ Qinka-mbp in ~ [19:40:56]
$ fuse-ext2 /dev/disk4s1 tmp-mount

# qinka @ Qinka-mbp in ~ [19:41:38] C:252

Out of curiosity, did you try with this build?. I upgraded to 10.13 and it works for me.

Old thread, but I get hit with the same empty error message whenever I try to run the below mount command without executing as root using sudo, even when my user has ownership of the mount point in question. mount -t fuse-ext2 /dev/path /mnt/point

Using sudo does get it to work fine though.

Hi.

I am testing your example here (Debian sid). This is what I get:

$ mount -t fuse-ext2 /tmp/linux.img /tmp/mnt/ mount: only root can use "--types" option $ busybox mount -t fuse-ext2 /tmp/linux.img /tmp/mnt/ mount: permission denied (are you root?)

Which OS, distribution, version are you using?

All the best, renzo
