APFS FUSE Driver for Linux Description
APFS FUSE Driver for Linux is a read-only file system driver that enables Linux systems to mount and access Apple File System (APFS) volumes. The driver supports software encrypted volumes and fusion drives, allowing forensic investigators and security professionals to examine Apple devices and storage media on Linux platforms. Key capabilities include: - Read-only access to APFS volumes - Support for encrypted volumes including FileVault encryption - Ability to mount disk images (DMG files) - Support for GPT partition tables - Snapshot and sealed volume mounting functionality - Fusion drive compatibility The tool requires compilation from source code with specific dependencies including FUSE libraries, development tools, and compression libraries. While functional for most use cases, some compression methods are not yet supported, which may result in compressed files being returned instead of their uncompressed versions. The driver has evolved since its initial 2017 release, with regular updates adding encryption support, DMG mounting capabilities, and enhanced partition table handling.
