![]() This piece of application is called Mac OS X Ext2 Filesystem (ext2fsx) and does just that, plain and simple. Now the question is how can i access a Linux file system? Another search on the web lead me to a Mac application on that allows users to be able to mount a Linux file system onto a Mac. ![]() It turns out that Mac wasn't able to access ext2 file system so it could be a possibility that the disk had an old Linux OS installed on it. Not convinced that it might be a faulty disk, i searched the web for an answer. All of a sudden it could not be initialised and read on the Mac. There were 3 old 80GB harddisks, two of them worked fine as they were from an old Windows PC and was used as a slave drive for data only (no OS installed) until i connected the final harddrive. I attached each of the old harddisk to an USB 2.0 External Drive Enclosure Kit one at a time connected to my Mac. Either way, this is great i can use them as an external backup disk for my server. They were covered in dust, so must have been a few years old. Earlier today i was clearing out some old junk and found a few harddisk drives lying around that i had forgotten about.
