Greetings.
As said in my introduction, I am also a Linux user. While on this system, I usually use BTRFS for my storage disks and I wondered if I could access them on MacOS catalina.
I saw the Fuse for MacOs project but it sadly doesn't supports BTRFS.
Do anyone have a driver or even a software to access these disks?
Thanks.

From a quick search there is no support for BTFRS on macOS at all. All posts I found recommend using a minimal VM to access it from within macOS.

Do you have an idea of a software to make theses minimal VM and that can access system disks? (I tried VirtualBox but I can't figure out how to access the disk in question)

Just google “virtualbox raw disk”.

Note that you’ll need to unmount the disk first.
