Jetta VR6 6Spd Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Ubuntu is a linux distro, so the commands are the same as any other linux distro. The thing you need to figure out is if the kernel has support for hfsplus filesystems. You can try this command, if it works then your kernel has the proper extensions to load hfsplus partitions. mount -t hfsplus /dev/hda /mnt/hfsplusdrive If this does not work... You will have to add hfsplus support to the kernel first. I do know that Fedora Core 4 has built in support for hfsplus partitons. So if you have room to install Fedora as a dual boot OS then this would be an extremely useful option. Not to mention, Fedora Core 4 is pretty good itself. Here is a project at SourceForge that relates to this topic: http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-hfsplus Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1034-patching-dev-dvd-from-ubuntu-live/#findComment-6255 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetta VR6 6Spd Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 The earlier releases of hfsplus support for linux only supported a read only mount. The updated releases will allow you to read and write. You probably mounted the partition just fine, its just the version of hfsplus support that you are using. This is similar to the progress of ntfs support in linux from a while back.
