When I plug an SD card into my laptop with the Raspbian image on it, only the boot partition shows up in Finder. It took me a while to figure out that two partitions should be seen instead of only one. I even installed MacFuse and tried Linux virtual machine yet the Linux partition of the image cannot be seen. I did test the card multiple times with a Windows/Linux machine which shows that the card is OK (two partitions). What could possibly be the reason for the partition not showing up? Needless to say, macfuse doesn't work.
Interestingly diskutil list
does show the partitions (where one is called 'Linux' with NTFS file system) but when I mount it, I still can't see files on it (diskutil mountDisk or ext2-fuse). disukutil list:
/dev/disk2 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *31.9 GB disk2
1: Windows_FAT_32 boot 66.1 MB disk2s1
2: Linux 4.3 GB disk2s2
I'm confused a
macOS
cannot readext4
partitions (due toSIP
). Also most add-ons to enableext4
no longer work.
