vincentjames501 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 A long time ago I created a HFS+ partition with linux. It appears that I didn't do something correctly. It's a little to late to reformat it as I have nearly a 700GB on it of data. Below is the information as it appears in disk utility. Name : disk1s2 Type : Volume Disk Identifier : disk1s2 Mount Point : Not mounted File System : Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Connection Bus : SATA Device Tree : IODeviceTree:/PCI0@0/SATA@1F,2/PMP@0 Writable : Yes Capacity : 860.62 GB (860,618,448,896 Bytes) Owners Enabled : No Can Turn Owners Off : Yes Can Be Formatted : Yes Bootable : Yes Supports Journaling : Yes Journaled : No Disk Number : 1 Partition Number : 2 Output of mount I typed: mount /dev/disk1s2 output: mount: /dev/disk1s2: unknown special file or file system.

3.14r2 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I might be mistaken, but IMHO it should look like this: mount_hfs /dev/diskXsY /Volumes As mount point should also be specified (not only files system and device). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, yeah. I would do it like this: su (enter roots password) mkdir /Volumes/NameOfTheDiskYouWantToMount mount_hfs /dev/disk1s2 /Volumes/VolumeNameYouChoseInLastCommand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
