 Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2003 12:47 am Post subject: Mac HFS over firewire on an x86 |
 |
|
I finally got my internal drive working but I was hoping to find a way to use my external firewire drive with both my server and my powerbook. The mac is running OSX and can format with "UFS" or HFS+. it can read FAT32 but I really do not want to take that route. The Linux box can read, well, everything. I could not get UFS to mount.
Here is the odd part. When the disk is formatted either formated HFS+ or UFS, it shows up on the Linux box fine, as a mac partition table but with three partitions, showing up in
| Code: | /dev/sda1
/dev/sda2
/dev/sda3 |
but only sda2 will mount and when it mounts it only shows up as 18 gigabytes.
Any way to make it see the full 80 gigs with HFS+? are there other options besides FAT32 that the Mac and Linux box will both like? How would I go about mounting mac-ufs on the Linux box?
Thanks a bunch for your help. |

| check in the kernel option, you will see "support for hfs" in the filesystem section. Recompile either way (module or built-in), reboot, mount. |

(screen name change here, long story)
I had HFS support compiled into my kernel and it will mount the HFS partition, however it only sees it as 18 gigs instead of 80. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that. |

Kernel support for HFS+ is available seperately from HFS support.
Mac-UFS? Well, UFS refers to many UNIX filesystems, but I am quite sure that in this case, they are talking about BSD FFS.
Don't forget to compile in support for the Macintosh Partition Map under File systems>Partition types (Although I think you have done this.) |

Is HFS+ kernel support avaliable in mm-sources? I could not seem to find it an I am also clueless about patchin my kernel from something else.
How would I go about mounting BSD FFS with mount? i got the -t ufs part down but it looks like i need to do -0 ______ and I dont know what would go on the blank there..
Mac Partition Mac support is compiled in.
[edit] - fixed a typo.

HFS+ support can be found in sys-apps/hfsplusutils, which is unfortunately PowerPC only.
Surprisingly, mkisofs knows how to make HFS+ CDs... |

We got HFS+ working on x86 over here. Funny thing is - if you have a mac HFS+ enabled harddrive you need to use ITunes to enable firewire harddrive support on the IPod and then it will read properly.

One other option for anyone that is interested is using the Ext2 Filesystem under Mac OSX: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/mac/18619
| Quote: | | Enables the use of Linux Ext2 formatted hard disks, floppies, CD-ROM's, etc from within Mac OS X. Includes support for reading, writing, formatting, etc.. |
It doesnt enable the use of the ext3 journal but i thought that it was kinda cool and stumbled across it today so I figured I would post it here. |
