How To: APFS write support for Fedora
Please note this is an experimental third party driver.
Note: This guide is based on the guide made by the developer available at https://github.com/sgan81/apfs-fuse, but that guide is for Ubuntu.
Download dependencies:
sudo dnf install fuse fuse-devel libicu-devel bzip2 bzip2-devel cmake clang git zlib-devel
Clone from Github:
git clone https://github.com/sgan81/apfs-fuse.git cd apfs-fuse git submodule init git submodule update
Then build:
mkdir build cd build cmake ..
If you have a 64 bit computer and don’t want to use the 32-bit version of FUSE run the command below:
ccmake .
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor down to the USE_FUSE3 item, and press the Enter key to change the option from ON to OFF, then press the c key to configure, and finally press the g key to generate.
Finally run make to build the software.
make
To mount a drive, use
apfs-fuse /dev/<device> <mount-directory>
To mount a drive as root (to allow other users to access it):
apfs-fuse -o uid=<uid>,gid=<gid>,allow_other /dev/<device> <mount-path>
For more flags, see the guide from the developer here: https://github.com/sgan81/apfs-fuse
