Since then, projects such as FUSE for OS X which use the MacFuse source have been started these can use MacFuse support like fuse-ext2 but tend to only be reliable and safe reading the filesystems, not writing them. More importantly, the project is no longer actively developed. It does not compromise the data contained inside the TrueCrypt vault. MacFuse was the traditional alternative to software like Paragon's, but it ran in userspace rather than as a kernel extension and so had a penalty on performance. The Paragon ExtFS costs $39.95 and a 10 day trial version is available. According to Paragon, there's minimal performance loss compared to HFS+.The company builds its Ext file system driver on its in-house universal filesystem driver which it also uses to deliver NTFS for Mac 10.0. As a low level filesystem driver, Ext2/3/4 drives appear directly in the Finder and appear as native OS X drives. Paragon's drivers make it possible to create files larger than 4 GB and supports automatic mounting. ExtFS for Mac OS X 9.0 provides complete read and write access for Ext2, Ext3 and Ext4 filesystems. Look for a message, with text like “System software from developer ‘Legacy Developer: GitHub’ was blocked from loading”, near the bottom and click the Allow button.Paragon has updated its Linux file system driver for Mac OS X to support Lion and Mountain Lion.Open Settings, “Security & Privacy”, and the General tab. The workaround is to manually force the user approval request to appear: Unfortunately, this does not always happen automatically for TrueCrypt. Usually, the user is prompted to open the “Security & Privacy” settings to allow the blocked software in question to load. Beginning with macOS 10.13 High Sierra, macOS requires the user’s approval before loading newly-installed third-party kernel extensions (including third-party file systems). OSXFUSE (currently known as “FUSE for macOS”) extends macOS’s native file handling capabilities via third-party file systems, such as Truecrypt. When attempting to mount a file or volume for the first time, Truecrypt will fail with an error, “the OSXFUSE file system is not available”. Run the modified “TrueCrypt 7.1a.mpkg” and the installation should proceed without a version error. Edit the “distribution.dist” file and remove the contents of the “pm_install_check” function (lines 13 thru 18):.Right-click on the copied file and select “Show Package Contents”. Then you will need to download and install the latest version of macFUSE (osxFUSE) either using installer from GitHub releases page.Copy the “TrueCrypt 7.1a.mpkg” file to your desktop (or other folder).Open the “TrueCrypt 7.1a Mac OS X.dmg” image.The workaround is to remove that version check: The cause is a version check that no longer works starting with Yosemite. When attempting to install TrueCrypt 7.1a on macOS 10.10 Yosemite and later versions (including macOS 10.14 Mojave), the installer will fail with an error message, “TrueCrypt requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later”. Update: Check out my post on how to Migrate TrueCrypt to VeraCrypt on macOS. Note: Truecrypt 7.1a is the last version to support the write function Truecrypt 7.2 is read-only. It may be that the fuse volume isn't a real filesystem with a dmg in it, it might just represent things that way, but it sure will confuse people. While Truecrypt 7.1a works without any issues on Windows 10, it has two issues on macOS 10.14 Mojave. The OS X version uses MacFuse in an odd way, when you mount a TC file or device, it maps as a fuse volume on the desktop, which then has a DMG file inside it which is the actual filesystem. Even though development on TrueCrypt has ended, I still use it on both Windows and macOS computers.
