Error: ext4fuse has been disabled because it requires FUSE! #66

vittau · 2021-04-14T01:02:49Z

Getting the error Error: ext4fuse has been disabled because it requires FUSE! after trying brew install ext4fuse, after installing osxfuse with brew install --cask osxfuse and rebooting. How do I proceed?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

marcuspridham · 2021-04-15T00:57:43Z

Found this error today also. From what I can gather, Homebrew has disabled a bunch of formula that use FUSE because it's no longer open source so they don't want it in the homebrew-core. Using taps (formulas hosted on GitHub repos outside Homebrew) is the new approach and an example can be found here. This project needs to move to a tap also.

A quick workaround:

Create a file called ext4fuse.rb with the following contents:

class MacFuseRequirement < Requirement
  fatal true

  satisfy(build_env: false) { self.class.binary_mac_fuse_installed? }

  def self.binary_mac_fuse_installed?
    File.exist?("/usr/local/include/fuse/fuse.h") &&
      !File.symlink?("/usr/local/include/fuse")
  end

  env do
    ENV.append_path "PKG_CONFIG_PATH", HOMEBREW_LIBRARY/"Homebrew/os/mac/pkgconfig/fuse"

    unless HOMEBREW_PREFIX.to_s == "/usr/local"
      ENV.append_path "HOMEBREW_LIBRARY_PATHS", "/usr/local/lib"
      ENV.append_path "HOMEBREW_INCLUDE_PATHS", "/usr/local/include/fuse"
    end
  end

  def message
    "macFUSE is required. Please run `brew install --cask macfuse` first."
  end
end

Run the following commands from the directory the file you created is in:

brew install --cask macfuse
brew install --formula --build-from-source ./ext4fuse.rb

⚠️ **You might need to remove osxfuse as it is renamed to macfuse using the command below **

brew rm --cask osxfuse

Sorry add the formula flag also.

Thanks! I'm running this script on a M1 Mac with Homebrew installed in /opt/homebrew/. I had to append /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable (line 12) in order to make it work. Otherwise I would receive the following error output:

I'm also getting the same error than @felixII on an Intel MacBook which still persists after appending the suggested path.

ActionsPerMinute · 2021-06-09T21:02:53Z

for those looking for solutions, this eventually worked for me also, on mojave:
brew install --formula --build-from-source ./ext4fuse.rb

xxvxxv · 2021-06-11T18:36:06Z

A quick workaround:

Create a file called ext4fuse.rb with the following contents:

To where and how I should create the file?

tmigone · 2021-06-11T18:48:17Z

@xxvxxv you can put the file anywhere, it doesn't matter. I just tried this method and it worked. macOS catalina.

Some additional context here: - Homebrew/brew#9401 - gerard/ext4fuse#66 Existing installs might need to uninstall and reinstall like so: - `brew rm --cask osxfuse` - `brew install --cask macfuse` - `brew uninstall fuse-xfs` - `brew install fuse-xfs`

Zemke · 2021-08-15T20:28:41Z

According to #66 the bottle for Big Sur is

  sha256 cellar: :any,                   big_sur:       "5dc376aa20241233b76e2ec2c1d4e862443a0250916b2838a1ff871e8a6dc2c5"

There’s another ARM (Apple M1) architecture bottle on that page, too.

Edit: That’s to be updated in the Ruby script earlier in this thread.

Do brew install macfuse, not osxfuse
Then just open the formula with

vi `brew formula ext4fuse`

and comment out these lines

# on_macos do                                                                 
  #   disable! date: "2021-04-08", because: "requires FUSE"

after that brew install ext4fuse just works

Hi .. looks almost done.

But "vi brew formula ext4fuse" is weird.

What is correct file to edit ?

I think it should be brew edit ext4fuse.

The command is vi $(brew formula ext4fuse)

I meant, GitHub ate my code markup

vi `brew formula ext4fuse`

this will also work

Appears there is no build for Monterey. Is this planned?

Sucks that I go a new laptop and it is blocking me from development. Love to have this ASAP

For those who are having Error: ext4fuse: no bottle available!:
1 - Perform the steps provided earlier by @marcuspridham, but don't install ext4fuse yet
2 - Make sure you add /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH, just like @FelixLisczyk mentioned
3 - Install

This is the correct answer in 2022.

Not on M1. Sorry, should have prefaced the response with that.

Managed to get it working, for those struggling with this (like I was) and needing copy/paste instructions, do as follows.

Install macFuse:
brew install macFuse

If are not comfortable with vi or don't have a good text editor like vscode, sublime text, etc. also run:
brew install nano

Copy and paste the following script into your text editor and save as ext4fuse.rb preferably in your home folder or downloads folder.

For those using nano. Start editing a file with.
nano ext4fuse.4b
Once you have pasted the script in, save and exit with CTRL + X, and answer yes to the save prompt.

Minor error in the instructions in #66 (comment):

For those using nano. Start editing a file with.
nano ext4fuse.4b

Should be:
nano ext4fuse.rb

(Extension was typed incorrectly)

Tahini-123 · 2022-07-28T20:04:40Z

Thanks @jcwren .
However now I get this:
Error: ext4fuse: wrong number of arguments (given 0, expected 1)

I think we'd need to see exactly what you're typing to see what might be going wrong.

FWIW, I did get it compiled and installed, but after trying sudo ext4fuse mount /dev/disk3s2 /tmp/xxx -o allow_other, I kept getting some kind of not found messages (I've since closed the tab, don't remember exactly what it was), in spite of /dev/disk3s2 being present, along with the mount point. I gave up and ended up mounting the SD card I needed to look at on a Raspberry Pi with a SD card adapter.

Tahini-123 · 2022-07-28T20:56:36Z

I followed the instructions above

brew install macFuse
brew install nano
nano ext4fuse.rb

pasted that script in, saved
brew install --formula --build-from-source ./ext4fuse.rb
That's where I get the error

newearthmartin · 2022-07-31T15:22:07Z

Hello, can someone please update the project README to add a few simple commands to install this on mac? Thanks

simonron · 2022-08-02T09:59:20Z

I have also failed to get this to work after several hours on an M1 Monterey. System Preferences shows that version 4.4.0 is present. No errors indicated. I can't get Finder to show anything of the EXT4 partition.

wethinkagile · 2022-08-02T10:09:06Z

I am using Paragon's ext4fs propietary Software now. Works flawless and worth every penny.

reapo · 2022-08-15T17:24:45Z

brew install macFuse
brew install nano

I think this is because your OS is Monterey, which is not in the list of OSes in bottle do.
I don't know how to fix it, though

christianwgd · 2022-08-30T11:14:37Z

Anyone who knows how to get the sha256 cellar value for Monterey?

bogumilo · 2022-09-30T22:07:15Z

Worked out-of-the-box on the MBA M2 with Monterey:

brew install macFuse
nano ext4fuse.rb

Paste the script from @Hulkstern post above. Save the file.
Double-check the path when brewing from the created script:

brew install --formula --build-from-source ext4fuse.rb

Then create a new folder where you mount:

mkdir linux-images
ext4fuse path/to/example-image.img linux-images

Ext4 image example-image.img is now visible in Finder.

rsescu · 2022-10-01T19:50:12Z

I followed the instructions above
brew install macFuse
brew install nano
nano ext4fuse.rb
pasted that script in, saved brew install --formula --build-from-source ./ext4fuse.rb That's where I get the error

I've had the same issue. Used a different editor than nano to paste the code and it works now. Seems like none introduced some linebreaks when pasting which messed things up. I used VSCode, but anything will probably do.
Can confirm, working now

syahrizalakbar · 2022-10-10T23:46:45Z

Thanks @jcwren . However now I get this: Error: ext4fuse: wrong number of arguments (given 0, expected 1)

I got same error like this

yuxiang-wu · 2022-10-26T18:24:12Z

Do brew install macfuse, not osxfuse Then just open the formula with
vi `brew formula ext4fuse`
and comment out these lines
# on_macos do                                                                 
  #   disable! date: "2021-04-08", because: "requires FUSE"                     
  # end
after that brew install ext4fuse just works

This works for Mac OS 13.0 Ventura

I don't have the same formula on my M1, Ventura 13.2, and I couldn't get the suggested solutions to work, however damonbreeden's answer to https://github.com/gerard/ext4fuse/issues/74 is straightforward and worked to enable ext4 access for me.

erlangparasu · 2023-02-19T13:42:13Z

@jrussell88 thanks #74 (comment) works for me too

so... brew took a lot of steps to place this package in this situation, and looking closer at it i didn't care to try to reverse engineer all that effort

it's not very hard to build this pkg manually, and if you're in the situation where you're on macOS and trying to mount ext4 volumes, it can pretty reasonably be assumed that you're comfortable with the command line

so with that in mind, these are all the steps required to build the pkg and use it install mac4fuse from https://osxfuse.github.io/, restart
git clone https://github.com/gerard/ext4fuse.git && cd "$(basename "$_" .git)"
make
mkdir ~/ext4_mount
diskutil list # shows you a list of all disks connected to your system, choose your ext4 disk/partition
sudo ./ext4fuse /dev/disk4 ~/ext4_mount -o allow_other # sudo is required
# approve all the security prompts, reboot
sudo ./ext4fuse /dev/disk4 ~/ext4_mount -o allow_other # run again after reboot
