    have an external drive, media player, partitioned in ext3, all the movies and music are on this, I'm trying to copy them onto a new external as a back up, but want to make it mac compatable, since the files run into 10gb regulary, FAT isnt an option, so going for hfs, my mac cant read it so looking for the best way to transfer the files, ideally with out networking as I have tried this route and failed terribly, MacFuse seems like it MIGHT work, anyone tried this?

    I used paragon extfs for something or other last year, don't remember running into any problems.

    I use MacFuse and NTFS-3G and it's decent. No experience with the EXT2/3 driver though.

    HFS (without journalling, i.e. not HFS+) is Linux-friendly - there's kernel support for reading from and writing to vanilla HFS. Otherwise read-only support for HFS+.

    Ah, so you hooked up the ext3 drive to your router and read the files off that from your mac? Clever :)
